Due to the concerns associated with the COVID-19 (coronavirus), the Annual Saint Paddy’s Lunch Inn Fundraiser scheduled for Friday, March 20, has been postponed. The event will be re-scheduled.

The fundraiser is a benefit for The Shepherd’s Inn – Safe House/Emergency Shelter for women and their children coming from domestic violence settings or otherwise temporarily homeless.

“We are disappointed to postpone this event,” said Paul Gabinet, Executive Director of The Shepherd’s Inn. “However, the health of our friends who come to eat with us and our staff, is of optimum concern. The funds from this benefit helps sustain the spring operation of the community’s only emergency shelter for these women and children. We will have a difficult time in weeks to come without the support from this event,” continued Gabinet.

Anyone wishing to contribute to the work of The Shepherd’s Inn may send their contributions to The Shepherd’s Inn. P.O. Box 2214, Elizabethton, TN 37644.
