Wreath of the Day – Pine Street Inn
We decorate wreaths for raffle winners and high auction bidders to benefit various not for profit organizations, and this year we received a heartwarming note from a member of the Noannet Garden Club, who, unbeknownst to us, planned to donate her wreath to the Pine Street Inn. Pine Street Inn provides a comprehensive range of services, including permanent supportive housing, job training and placement, emergency shelter and street outreach to nearly 2,000 homeless men and women each day. Founded in 1969, Pine Street is the largest resource for homeless men and women in New England. The wreath pictured below now hangs on the door leading to the men’s dining hall there. She reports the men and the staff were thrilled to receive it. The only decorations they had were a couple of tin Christmas trees, and this wreath has brought joy to all who see it.
