During the Y's Capital Campaign Drive in 1983, members of the Patterson Avenue Board of Management pledged $67,500 in contributions, making them as a group the biggest donor among Y branches. In response to a challenge grant from the Mary Babcock Reynolds Foundation, the black community as a whole made more than 1,000 pledges, making the total pledged from the Patterson branch more than $200,000. But some of those pledges are in arrears, said ?? '* * ?

Ginny Britt, the Crisis ContrdJ Ministry's director, say they want to keep the day shelter program going through March, at least. United Metropolitan's members hope that after the program's initial six-week operation at their church, another church will adopt the program through the end of March. But if no other church seems willing, United Metropolitan will evaluate the shelter and possibly keep it going. Kennedy said the shelter will open from 1 to 6 p.m. Mondays through Saturdays and from 3 to 6 p.m. on Sundays. Homeless people can go to the shelter about the same time the Patterson Avenue soup kitchen closes. The shelter will close about an hour before the night shelter opens.
