Time are tough and the weather is bitter. We need to help each other out and, especially, help people experiencing homelessness. The Homeless Stand Down — held on Sat 2/25 — is an amazing event that provides homeless people with medical and social services, food, coats, boots, personal hygiene items and plain ol’ compassion.
Want to donate? The HSD is in critical need of:
BOOTS
CREW SOCKS
PERSONAL HYGIENE ITEMS (Toothbrush, toothpaste, wash cloths, deodorant, shampoo, disposable razors, feminine hygiene products…)
BLANKETS
You can drop these items off at Pilgrim Congregational United Church of Christ, located at 2592 W. 14th Street, Cleveland, OH during these dates:
