Room in the Inn (RITI) will resume at Belmont UMC this November. Once again, we’ll welcome 12 unhoused guests on Friday nights during the colder months, offering them a warm, safe place to rest.

This winter, RITI will take place on the first and third Fridays of each month, beginning November 7 and continuing through the end of March. Our hospitality includes serving a hot dinner, visiting with our guests, and providing beds, showers, breakfast, and sack lunches.

There are many ways to serve—both by being present with our guests and by helping behind the scenes. We need van drivers, overnight hosts, dinner and sack lunch providers, set-up and clean-up crews, and laundry volunteers.

If you can help, please contact Joan Cato.

To learn more about being a van driver, please contact Angie Slade for the forms and information.
