G.I.F.T.S. Men’s Shelter Keeps on Giving |
 |
 |
|
By Lynn Retzlaff - DOTR eNeighborhood Editor
It was a mere two years ago when a group of Christians prayed together and asked God what He would have them do to serve Him. The answer was heard and a plan was made. Within a few short months
G.I.F.T.S. (God Is Faithful Temporary Shelter) men’s shelter went from an aspiration to an actualization.
The shelter is uniquely run by a collaboration of 27 churches of mixed denomination. Fifteen churches have space large enough to hold the equipment of one portable shower and twenty-five portable beds. Each of these “host” churches commits to running the shelter for two weeks of the season.

Janesville is known as "Wisconsin's Park Place" or "City of Parks". Its 2,015-acre park system includes 53 improved parks, as well as boat launches, golf courses, and nature trails. This is one of the highest acreages per capita in Wisconsin. Janesville has a public, internationally-themed botanical garden, Rotary Gardens, with free admission (donations accepted), that is open during the summer months. It is home to numerous weddings and group gatherings.Traxler Park is home to the Rock Aqua Jays, a water ski team which has been U.S. national champion 15 times. The team originated and regularly hosts the National Show Ski championships. Traxler Park is also home to the Fourth of July festivities. Other major parks include Riverside Park, a recreational park along the Rock River including a golf course and a segment of the Ice Age Trail; Rockport Park, largely undeveloped, including the municipal swimming pool and Peace Park; Monterey Park, including the Big Rock, an early natural landmark signaling a good ford of the Rock River (and the namesake of the county, but not the river), as well as a sports stadium used by the school system; Lustig Park, used for a disc golf course; and Palmer Park, which includes a 9-hole golf course and Camden Park (an accessible play area). Most of the parks in the city are linked by a paved bike trail, which will eventually connect to Beloit. (resource: Wikipedia) |
