MY FIRST DAY AT THE SHELTER

I showed up a little after Noon but they weren't taking anyone until 3 pm so I went to the library for a couple of hours. I guess i misunderstood what Mrs. Lupe said about their intake hours.

Before entering the building, we were read the list of the shelter's rules and then allowed to register. I was referred by JEC so I knew I had a bed waiting but I didn't know much beyond that. The registration process was simple although I was surprised that they took my state ID card. You get the card back if you leave the building. They also require that you hand over any prescribed medications.
