Dozens of people spent their Saturday decorating a children’s shelter in West Frankfort to make it a more welcoming place.

A group of volunteers painted walls of the Night’s Shield Children’s Center, which houses about 25 abused and neglected children, in an effort to bring a little bit of brightness into the lives of its residents.

Organizers said they hope paintings and bright colors will help take their minds off of what’s going on in the outside world.
