coming next month to Lake County Fairgrounds
A huge outreach to benefit area families in need just added a couple more major means of assistance,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
Pet supplies and 1,000-plus articles of clothing are among the latest offerings planned at the Northeast Ohio Convoy of Hope event taking place June 26 at the Lake County Fairgrounds in Painesville Township.
That is in addition to free groceries, 500 pairs of shoes from Samaritan Feet, health and dental care,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], haircuts,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], makeovers, family portraits, fun and games for children and more.
Jo Ann Rokosky, editor of Country Critter Journal,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], contacted the local event coordinator about providing help for pets a first for a COH outreach. She is seeking donations to provide dog and cat food; supplies such as leashes, collars and treats; certificates for spay/neutering, grooming and training services; and she will be bringing in pet consultants.
times,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], low-income families receive food,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], clothing,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], etc., but nothing for their pets, Rokosky said. is where we will come in and help with their family pet needs. God loves all his creations,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], including his animals. />
The clothing will be donated from Betty Boutique, part of The Well ministry at Willoughby Hills Friends Church. Items for men, women and children of all sizes will be made available to outreach guests, said Eleese Gosselin,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], a Boutique volunteer and The Well women shelter coordinator.
Gosselin learned of the COH opportunity through Judy Burr of Project Hope,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], who also is participating in the event.
were trying to find another outreach for ourselves. We kind of excited, Gosselin said.
COH provides food and pure drinking water to people in need across the United States and around the world. Each year, in the United States alone, the organization holds up to 50 community events. Census data.
Up to 1,000 volunteers are needed to put on the event, with opportunities ranging from welcoming guests to bagging groceries, to helping out with food preparation or in the kids play zone.
Other outreach goals are:
n Preparation for 5,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych],000 guests
n 75-plus churches involved (about 50 are on board so far)
n 100-plus businesses and organizations participating
n A $50,000 budget (More than $45,200 has come in from individuals, churches and local businesses.).
COH provides funding for expenses such as about 5,000 bags of groceries,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], national director and outreach team travel, literature, training, supplies, transportation, warehousing, logistics and administration.
