This new kitchen is substantially larger than the one in the Hospitality House’s previous location at the San Bernardino Corps’ Headquarters building, and in order to make best use of it, the Army seeks donations of additional kitchen items. It also has an ongoing need for personal items for the shelter residents. Photo by Chris Sloan
