Submitted article
WILMINGTON The Clinton County Homeless Shelter expressed gratitude to the community for a busy yet unusual year due to the pandemic at its board meeting held via Zoom on Wednesday, Jan. 20.
In 1988, the Clinton County Services for the Homeless “the Shelter” opened its doors and became the first emergency shelter in a rural Ohio community. For more than 32 years, the support of our Clinton County Community has enabled the Shelter to continue its mission of providing emergency shelter, compassionate care, and support to the homeless and underprivileged while remembering each resident is a person of worth.
