TOLEDO, Ohio Unloaded pack by pack, donations of water came pouring in.
Your kindness quickly filled an entire truck and Maumee Valley Movers hit the road to Send Hope for Texas.
But the donations didn t stop.
You filled three more trucks with food, water and cleaning supplies to help people here in northwest Ohio.
For guests, many have been reaching and exceeding expectations on their journey out of homelessness.
“The Hungry for Change campaign aims to blur the line between the guests at Cherry Street and all of us in northwest Ohio and southeast Michigan,” CEO Ann Ebbert said. “We are all hungry for change, hungry for a career with a living wage, or hungry for a brighter future. We want the community to see those experiencing homelessness as people who are willing to fight for better days ahead and will exceed expectations with some compassion and support to spur them along.”
The community has been an incredible supporter of the mission throughout the years, and Cherry Street hopes that this message will resonate with those living in the surrounding areas and beyond so it can continue to feed the hunger for change in our community through workforce development, mental health support, education and community partnerships.
