Saturday, May 17 was an exciting day at West Lawn. The Refresh Berks Mobile Shower unit made its debut with a Kickoff Splash here in our parking lot. People from all over Berks County came out to see the trailer, meet the organizations involved in bringing this dream to reality, and hear more about its mission to restore dignity to every individual. Senator Judy Schwank, along with Pastor Tom Ebersole and West Lawn members Jack William and Charlotte Rismiller, spoke about the trailer's importance and purpose.

Through your generous Christmas Miracle offering, West Lawn presented Refresh Berks with a $20,000 portion of that donation. Through this monetary gift, we continue to care for the well-being of all people, seeing every person as worthy of fighting for. Just as Jesus called his disciples to feed the hungry and clothe the naked, He’s also calling us to love, to see, and to lift up those who’ve been left behind by providing them a fresh start. Thank you for being the church that shares Jesus’ hope and love to all people, one shower at a time.
