REACHING OUT TO CLEVELAND'S HOMELESS

HSD, a 3-day event, provides more than 2,000 people facing homelessness and poverty with access to: 55 social service providers, 15 health screenings, haircuts, massages, winter and non-winter clothing, breakfast, lunch, an RTA bus pass, live entertainment, professional portraits and personal care kits.
Bring your donations to our church Narthex by Monday, February 7th. Items we collect will be distributed by InterAct Cleveland volunteers on Saturday, February 12th at Pilgrim Congregational Church on W. 14th Street. These are the items needed:

• new household items, such as small appliances (toasters, can openers, coffee pots), bath or kitchen towel sets, etc.
