The work of Refresh Berks began when Trinity dreamed of renovating the first floor of the Annex building. With leaders from Common Ground Recovery Community we discerned that instead of building showers on site, a mobile shower trailer would help more people around the whole of Berks County. Supported by Trinity and our initial pledge of $30,000, Dave and Amy Stewart-Himes have championed the work of Refresh Berks, joined by Bill Norton, Megan Souders-Zobian, Beth Welz, Pr. Drew Neidig, Pr. Tom Scornavacchi, Dcs. Deborah Graf, and representatives from Berks Coalition to End Homelessness, Berks Community Health Center, and West Lawn United Methodist Church. Please come and see the fruits of our labor!
