Off the Streets Youth Volunteers Collecting Blankets Until Dec. 17!

The Blanket Drive is off to a great start! A lot of people are stepping up and joining in the effort. Roosevelt Junior High School will offer CJSF community service hours for students who volunteer, and it was also confirmed today that blankets collected by the youth will be shared at an annual event honoring those who have died on the streets of Stanislaus County this year. It will be a wonderful learning opportunity for our young people to be involved in this way!
The Homeless Persons' Memorial Day will be held this year on December 21 at the Salvation Army on D Street in Downtown Modesto. I will post a flyer when I receive one. There will be entertainment, refreshments, information, and a candlelight vigil. Off the Streets will also be doing some outreach and tabling educational resources. The event starts at 5:30.
