Today’s Personal WIN (What’s Important Now):? Catch up on all admin tasks from my day off last Friday/ Research God’s promises and God’s Commands/ Return Rental Car
?We had a community meeting this morning focused on ?the ?goal setting and also answering questions from Shelter guests
?Staff celebrated Christmas as a team at a local coffee shop.
We are calling in the professionals.? We have a family of rats that has invaded our facility and while we have tried all that we know to do, we are failing.? We called in an exterminator to solve our problem.
Today our men’s focus and women’s focus groups took place at GRM.
Today’s reflection time (3:30 pm Monday-Friday) the guests will perform a Hero/Goal Setting time.? They will reflect on a time when they achieved something awesome and then set goals for the week.
Forging Past the Felony at 4 pm has us right at the beginning.? If you have a felony on your record join us at 4 pm at 323 Callahan. We can help you relaunch your life.

Overflow: This is our program that is the lowest barrier piece of what we do.? They simply show up at 9:45 pm.? They get a mattress on the floor and in the morning they leave at 6am with a sack lunch.? This comes with no expectations except to be polite and respectful.
Regular Shelter: We are determined not to turn anybody away due to lack of space so we take EVERYONE that shows up to our 1 pm orientation Monday-Friday.? The only exceptions are those that are level 3 sex offenders or cannot perform personal hygiene.? Once they check in they will be shown our orientation https://youtu.be/DN0mQ3KYs7U?si=G2vkFwdBOina_q2D
We are designed to help men and women to develop the skills habits, mindset and desire to no longer be homeless.? The program is personalized for every guest after we get to know them to help with their particular challenges.? We love and believe in these men and women and encourage them to live a better life of flourishing.? You can check out our rubric to see the objective we have for every guest. https://grmok.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/Life-Stability-Rubric.xlsx
Over the years those that disagree with our philosophy of ministry have used social media to complain about a wide assortment of concerns.? Some have more merit than others.? We address these on our website:? https://grmok.org/addressing-concerns/
GRM is funded using no government funds.? We depend on our community to support these efforts toward life change for these men and women.? To ensure that we are living above reproach in finances we have hired an outside accountant to keep our official books and another accountant to do an annual audit.? https://grmok.org/stewardship/
Daily Reflection time:? We schedule a time each day for guests to stop and think and reflect , assess and evaluate things.? We do this to help them establish a practice of taking time for reflection.
