One call does it all; here is the 411 on 211…
Someone showed up at church this morning needing housing; just wanted to make everyone aware that anyone needing assistance can call 211 24/7/365 and the United Way will provide them with a range of resources from housing to food insecurity to mental health.
Wednesday at 6:30
There will be an Immigrant Dignity Coalition Meeting at Mount Auburn Presbyterian Church. I found the one that I attended inspirational and enlightening (I caught COVID at it but hey, it was a slam dunk I was getting it since I was a lifeguard at the West End Y and there were 60 new kids learning to swim every Wednesday 😉
Next Tuesday, May 28th
SOS Art Cincinnati will hold an event to commemorate World Hunger Day utilizing local artists from 5-8:30 at Mt Auburn Presbyterian Church.
On June 1st
Carole Womeldorf invites you to contact her if you are interested in attending a one-day summit to reduce gun violence on June 1st; I’m sure many of you heard or read about the shooting behind Withrow in the early morning hours yesterday that killed a young man who graduated Friday. It’s preventable and many strategies exist to address this! Several are mentioned in last year’s common read on justice and it’s time we interrupted this tragic cycle…
Also on June 1st
A park will be dedicated in the memory of long-time South Avondale Elementary educator William Joel McCray; The 1.5-acre park is across from the Cincinnati Children’s Critical Care Building on Erkenbrecher Avenue, west of the intersection with Burnet Avenue. Let’s make an effort to turn out for our community partner! Details here.
