2020 Warming Event in Ely Square 1/20/2020 : This year we have over 1775 items! Everything is free and available to those in need.
Huge thank you to the Elyria Hookers (knitting group) for knitting hats, scarves, mittens, gloves, blankets and all the individuals that donated gently used coats, purchased new socks, gloves.
Thank you to our collection sites Dairy Queen, Pandy's, A&J Raceway and newest business GCS Electric (their holiday party collected items for the event).
Lastly, thank you to the volunteers that came out in the cold this morning to put the items out.
All the items will be by the gazebo in Ely Square today, 1/20/2020 through Friday, 1/24/2020 at noon. Any left over items will be collected then and donated to a church for further distribution.
This is what our community is about!
