Community Shelters Asking For Help

Dec 13, 2002

Because the economy is on a downward move, the shelters in Columbus are going to be used more this winter than last winter. Homeless families are up 14% this year. The shelters need all the help they can get from the community. If you have any blankets, sheets, pillow cases, towels, washcloths, soap, toothpaste, shampoo, etc. that you can give to these organizations, it will be greatly appreciated. If you would like to make a donation, please call any of the following agencies:
