In his typical, dignified way, Will told me that he comes to Face to Face for fellowship. Will has utilized most of our services for adults – meals, health care, social, legal services and art. Will’s answer reflected what I routinely tell people about Face to Face. Namely, that it is not so much WHAT we do, but the WAY we do it that draws people to Face to Face. Face to Face offers an array of complementary services, but with a unique approach. Each guest is welcomed with a smile and most are known by name. Staff, volunteers and guests all contribute to creating this warm and dignified atmosphere. We strive to care for the whole person. This year, the collaboration among programs is more efficient and effective. If a client comes to our social services office with a particular need, and in the course of the session it becomes apparent that there is an underlying legal or health issue, the client is referred to one of our other services. Volunteers in the Dining Room engage in conversations with guests and often help steer them to one or another service.
