When Anthony Guessregen, owner of Anthony’s Ristorante Italiano in Oxford, met Laura Richeson, Director of Development and Marketing for Talbot Interfaith Shelter (TIS), he was immediately intrigued with the organization and its mission. After learning that one of his employees and her family had received life-changing assistance from TIS, he was inspired to do something to help ensure that more of our neighbors experiencing homelessness would have access to the resources they need to regain stability. Anthony decided to host a fundraiser to benefit Talbot Interfaith Shelter.

Talbot Interfaith Shelter (TIS) is much more than a homeless shelter. Every guest that walks through its doors participates in TIS’ S4 Program, which is designed to guide local families and individuals step-by-step from homelessness to self-sufficiency. Each “S” represents a phase of the program: Shelter, Stability, Support, and Success. Guests will achieve many milestones as they rebuild their lives, but they all have their eye on the last “S.” Success means they are able to live independently once again.

On Saturday, January 13th, 2024, at 1pm, the Tilghman Watermen’s Museum Speaker Series will host Maegan White from ShoreRivers. Maegan will speak about restoring the waterways on the Eastern Shore.
