Cheyenne Interfaith Hospitality Network (CIHN)
Our rotation for Cheyenne Interfaith Hospitality Network (CIHN) is here again.
Our network of churches in Cheyenne provides housing and food for families for one week. Our next CIHN week is August 31 -September 7. We need volunteers to provide transportation in the morning to the day center, provide dinner in the evening from 5 p.m. until 7 p.m., stay in the church during the evening from 7 p.m. until 9 p.m., or overnight (we provide a comfortable bed and private room). We also need volunteers on Saturday and Sunday to stay with the families for a few hours or help setting up for the week and taking down at the end of the week. We will also need extra volunteers on Monday (Labor Day) to stay with the families during the day as the day center is closed. If you wish to volunteer, please contact us or sign up on our CIHN board in the social hall. We need volunteers to keep this vital and important program alive and combat homelessness.
