Tent City Homeless Awareness Project returns Oct 23-25

Posted: Thursday, October 8, 2015 by: Sarah Ottney | Category: Community Interest

1Matters.org is a Toledo nonprofit whose mission is to leverage community compassion and deliver it to those on the streets and in the shelters, with the goal of helping people return to domestic autonomy. Tent City is an annual three-day awareness and advocacy event, offering hot meals, clothing, haircuts, medical services, social services, assistance obtaining birth certificates/IDs and more. Guests and volunteers alike find themselves changed and inspired as they come together to eat, talk, serve, enjoy live local music and "be 1 who matters." Highlights include a 1-mile Parade of Compassion (6 p.m. Oct. 23) followed by a Mayor's Forum (8 p.m. Oct. 23), Project Connect (9 a.m.-4 p.m. Oct. 24) and a worship service (10 a.m. Oct. 25). Volunteer opportunities abound. Find a full schedule, volunteer signup and more information at 1matters.org/tentcity.
