A Year in Photo - Day 308

The homeless shelter I have been volunteering at, Inn from the Cold, closed at the end of the March. It only operates during the coldest winter months, and while the need is still very much there, the funding isn't. I don't normally sign up for the last night because I find it really emotionally challenging. I've gotten to know all the guests over the season and I truly care about them. The worst part is walking away at the end of my shift, knowing the VAST majority have nowhere to go the next night. 

As I walked up to my door I am reminded of just how lucky I am.
