For the past several years, Oak Hill United Methodist Church has opened its doors to the unsheltered each week and other times throughout the year. Under the direction of Vicki Matustik, OHUMC Director of Connections and Service, the unsheltered receive a meal, showers, clothing and a respite from weather conditions. The doors open each Monday year-round; daily, during 100-plus degree summer days; and on nights when the temperatures drop below freezing. Guests truly appreciate the services offered, but both guests and volunteers say the best part of the gatherings is get a chance to talk to each other, become friends, and build a sense of community. This is the true benefit for all involved, Vicki says.
