Known for welcoming clients with open arms, Open Doors Shelter hosted its annual gala at The Loading Dock to support programs that “bridge the gap between homelessness and housing.” Guests mingled over dinner and participated in a lively auction to raise funds for the cause. The nonprofit recognized two Luminary Award winners, Nancy Meany and Sarah Fox, for ongoing service and commitment to the organization. opendoorsct.org
