Toby, front right, is a member of the Anawim Community Home in N Portland. Toby’s work for rent is spent taking care of the kitchen floor in the house every week and he volunteers his services every Wednesday during Anawim’s free meal and service in St. Johns.

Shannon volunteered his time that day helping Jim with the mobile showers that Jim brings to St. Johns so that every Wednesday, before, during, and after the service, members of the homeless community can take a shower.
