CONWAY — The Way Station, a day resource center for the area’s homeless population, plans to use a $10,000 grant from the New Hampshire Charitable Foundation to study emergency housing options, say board members Jeannette Heidmann and the Revs. Nathan Hall and Gail Doktor.
Doktor, pastor of the Jackson Community Church, said she and Hall, pastor of the Lutheran Church of the Nativity in North Conway, along with treasurer Heidmann and other volunteers, founded The Way Station two years ago as a way to address the needs of the homeless in the Mount Washington Valley.
