Photos: Volunteers and Staff Revamp Frank Rice Access Center
The Frank Rice Center — the original home of Lamp — got a great facelift on April 2 and 3, thanks to the hard work, energy and spirit of some terrific volunteers and staff. Over two days, the group cleaned, painted and assembled new furniture and work and common spaces for expanded services to chronically homeless and formerly homeless men and women with mental illness and co-occurring disorders.

And a more lively surrounding for the Lamp staff.
