Let's support the homeless shelter

Perhaps a more fitting shelter for the homeless in Kent would be the streets?

I feel the Kent Resource Center would work fine – and I commend the Union Gospel Mission for being interested in financing and operating this resource. Let's get behind them 100 percent.

As for the Hong Kong Market, my loyalty to that store will continue and that issue can be handled with some simple rules for shelter users.

The Union Gospel Mission is ready, and I whole heartily support Terry Pallas and his plans.
