The Interfaith Rotational Shelter program has been running for the past 35 years, and involves different religious groups offering up temporary accommodation at their places of worship.
St. Peter’s Episcopal Church in Del Mar has said goodbye to four individuals, who’ve been living in the Parish Hall for the past two weeks. During their stay they were given warm beds, hot showers and home-cooked meals, as part of the Interfaith Rotational Shelter Program.
But the organization said calls from people asking for help have increased from a few per day to around 20 per day within the last couple weeks. “It’s been wonderful to interact with our parishioners and to listen to our guests tell their stories, which are not simple mental health or drugs and alcohol,” said volunteer Chistina Grobin.
