Andrea Charest and It Takes a Village announced a preliminary tally from last Saturday’s 24 Hour “This is Home” Awareness and Fundraising Campaign all in support of those battling homelessness.
She says that as of noon today the tally has surpassed $10,500 in financial donations and over $500 in Grocery Store gift cards.
Both Andrea and Manny Coelho spent 24 hours outside from 8 am Saturday until the same time Sunday with only the things someone would receive if they were experiencing homelessness.
The funds will be used by It Takes a Village to keep their doors open, stock the pantry food shelves for those looking for food or household items and continue their community work.
