Campaign with WBNS-10TV and the Dispatch Media Group responds to neighbors in crisis
The Community Shelter Board today announced January 31 a One Day to End Homelessness, a campaign to raise money to house adults and families who are swelling Franklin County shelters beyond capacity.
The campaign urges central Ohio residents to donate the equivalent of just one day's rent or mortgage payment to the One Day to End Homelessness campaign. All money raised will support the Community Shelter Board's innovative and time-tested programs, including prevention and rapid re-housing.
