Halloween at Stephen Center
Halloween is a special day for all kids. Those at Stephen Center Emergency Shelter are no different. Stephen Center Guild members decorated the hallways and are providing goodies for all the little goblins. According to Del Bomberger, Executive Director, “With the downturn in the economy the shelter has experienced a dramatic increase in demand for services, particularly women and children, in the Omaha area. We want to guarantee that our guests have a safe trick or treating event.” After school, the children will decorate spooky cookies for all the adults in the shelter. Following dinner, the “ghost patrol” will take the children trick or treating at the HERO program building.
