The members cooked spaghetti and meatballs, a tossed salad, bread and dessert for men 18 years or older seeking temporary shelter at the local facility. It is a 30-day emergency stay facility that can cold up to 29 men. UCAN offers a bed, a shower, and two meals a day (breakfast and dinner).

The Rotarians had the opportunity to see the fruits of their labor and the implementation of a joint donation of a new dishwasher to the mission provided by the Greater Jamestown AM Rotary Club and the Rotary Club of Jamestown. The dishwasher made light work of cleanup by finishing a washing cycle in 90 seconds after residents bussed the dishes and utensils used during dinner.

The two local Rotary Clubs joined forces to underwrite the cost for the new dishwasher.

The UCAN City Mission (United Christian Advocacy Network) is located at 7 W. First St., Jamestown. It is a Gospel Rescue Mission organization led by a Board of Directors and is also a part of the Citygate Network, formerly the Association of Gospel Rescue Missions.
