If you do away with the yoke of oppression, with the pointing finger and malicious talk, and if you spend yourselves in behalf of the hungry and satisfy the needs of the oppressed, then your light will rise in the darkness, and your night will become like the noonday. The LORD will guide you always; he will satisfy your needs in a sun-scorched land and will strengthen your frame. You will be like a well-watered garden, like a spring whose waters never fail.

Shelter in Bloomington, USA

The Salvation Army envisions a comprehensive, one-stop help for the homeless when it opens its $2.5 million, 24-hour homeless shelter.

But the Salvation Army still needs help in raising the money for the new building slated for land near its community center at 611 W. Washington St.

... The new shelter will serve another population of homeless—women and families, said Tom Fulop, director of Safe Harbor. Because of the health hazard posed by lead-based paint to women and children, the Salvation Army cannot open the doors of the old building to help them.
