NATIONAL HUNGER AND HOMELESSNESS AWARENESS WEEK is held each year the week before Thanksgiving. This season of gratitude is the perfect time to share compassion with our neighbors who are experiencing homelessness and hunger.
This year, to mark National Hunger and Homelessness Awareness week, THE HOMELESS SERVICES PARTNERSHIP, a collaboration among Aurora Project, Bethany House, Family House, and La Posada/Catholic Charities, has joined together with the goal of raising awareness about the issues of hunger and homelessness that plague our Greater Toledo community.
The ramifications of homelessness and hunger are very real and are felt each and every day in our community, where nearly 1 IN 5 IN LUCAS COUNTY struggle to find food and shelter. During 2022's Hunger and Homelessness Awareness week, November 12th through November 18th, we are asking you to shine the spotlight on two primary issues that debilitate families in our community. The organizations represented in the Homeless Service Partnership have been tackling these issues over the years with proven results and are asking for the community's support.
Join us for a DONATION DRIVE on Saturday, November 12th.
Bring items from our WISH LIST to Franklin Park Mall parking lot facing Sylvania Ave. in front of Old Navy and Dave & Busters between 11am-3pm.
HELP US FILL THE TRUCK
By providing essential items for families in shelter, YOU can have a positive impact on families struggling with hunger and homelessness in OUR community.
