It’s easy to take simple things for granted – a blanket to sleep with or socks to keep your feet warm. More than 1000 people in the Little Rock community do not have access to these things and sleep on the streets nightly, even in the cold weather.
Students from the Clinton School of Public Service will host a ‘Keep Little Rock Warm’ drive for the homeless community. This event is open to the public.
December 7th
1. Drop off new or clean, gently used sleeping bags and socks at the Clinton School of Public Service, Sturgis Hall (1200 President Clinton Avenue, Little Rock, AR 72201) anytime from 10am-2pm. The students will be providing hot chocolate and holiday hugs!
2. Make a tax-deductible monetary donation. Makes checks payable to The Van – a mobile homeless care unit that takes many of life’s basic needs out at set up distribution site.
3. If you cannot drop off donations with students that day, the Salvation Army close to the school is always taking these donations. The contact for Salvation Army is 1111 W Markham St, Little Rock, AR 72201. Phone: (501) 374-9296
