Avery Square: 510 Ashmun St., Sault Ste. Marie
November is Homelessness Awareness Month, and we’re kicking off with a shared meal to raise awareness and support those experiencing or facing homelessness.
The focus of this year’s initiative is to increase awareness and engagement, with a goal of reaching 200 attendees at the event on November 2nd from 11am – 2pm at Avery Square.
Unlike traditional fundraisers, this event is not centered around raising a set amount of money but rather on feeding those in need and raising awareness. While there is a suggested donation of $8.00 per person, all are welcome to join regardless of their ability to pay.
“This year, our goal is to bring as many community members together as possible to raise awareness about homelessness. It’s not just about donations, but about showing solidarity with those in need.”
Bridget Akre, HARA Housing Resource Specialist at CLMCAA
Attendees will have the option to make donations during the event via cash or a convenient QR code connected to CLMCAA’s secure PayPal Giving Fund portal. Donations are welcomed but not required to participate.
How You Can Get Involved:
• Attend the event and invite others to help us reach our attendance goal
• Register for the event on Facebook and invite others
• Make a monetary donation at the event or through our online system
• Donate in-kind items from our wishlist:
“I’m grateful for all the work Community Action staff does to help combat homelessness. However, they need our help too. I’m fortunate to be a part of a community that believes in giving back and helping when you can. If we all just give a little, we can accomplish big things!”
