I recommend heading over and reading the full post, as it has updates on Tent City but I wanted to point out this part of the post written by Ken Leslie:
Urgent News
We wanted you to be alerted to a situation. Cherry Street Mission and Food for Thought are two very strong supporters of Tent City.
But due to such an increase in need, both organizations are going through a shortage of resources to help those they serve.
Cherry Street needs the resources to prepare for Thanksgiving, and FFT needs bread, peanut butter, jelly, and juice boxes. Or cash, both are 501c3 and gladly accept cash.
These are tough times. The economy is taking a significant toll, ”double taxation” if you will.
First it increases the urgent demand for resources due to an increase of unhoused residents. But it also decreases the ability to be generous in a very important time of need.
Both Cherry Street and Food for Thought are such cases.
Just do what you can, or just spread the word. Cherry Street is here, and Food for Thought is here.
