Fellowship Center Gearing Up for Winter

Kenora's only emergency shelter is gearing up for another winter.

The Kenora Fellowship Center is collecting winter clothing to distribute
to homeless.

John Pencoff is one of the supervisors and says they can still use some help from the community and are looking for warm weather gear such as mitts, toques and winter boots.

Pencoff says they offer overnight shelter to an average of 14 people a night, but their actual capacity is 21.

The Fellowship Center held an open house this week to let community members learn about some of
the services they provide daily.
