Over the past few weeks, thanks to the generosity of a few good men, the shelter at Steps to HOPE has seen an amazing transformation. Several volunteers, who also volunteer for Thermal Belt Habitat for Humanity, came in and painted all the shelter walls and trim.

Steps to HOPE would like to extend our deepest gratitude to the following men for their generosity and hard work: Lee Cobourn, Jim Trunk, Gerald Rhoads, Robin Holycross, Jim White, Sam Williams, Jerry Larson, Mark Smith, Barry Markitell, Harry Kocopi, Doug Lyon, Doug Jackson, Bob Montgomery, John Foy, John Hicks, Denny Rook, Dave Wilson, and Karl Swanson.

In addition, we would like to extend a special thanks to Williamson’s Paint Center in Landrum and Benjamin Moore Paints for their contributions to this project.

Steps to HOPE was founded by and is supported by individuals and businesses in our community who wish to end domestic violence and sexual assault and to provide shelter to victims of these horrible crimes.
