Volunteers sought for new homeless shelter, Girlfriend Ride

Love Chapel, the Bartholomew County Ecumenical Assembly’s food pantry, is looking for volunteers to help with the new homeless shelter opening up soon on the east side of Columbus and for a charity bike ride this weekend.

Elizabeth Kestler says that more than 200 volunteers will be needed to help the paid staff operate the Brighter Day shelter.  Volunteers will be scheduled for four hour shifts at the center and will be trained before they take part, she said.
