Sherman Associates hosts Downtown Advocate Service Saturday, October 2nd

Via a September 24 e-announcement from Sherman Associates:

Join us to support your unsheltered neighbors at the Downtown Advocate Service Saturday on October 2nd from 1pm to 4pm at 205 Bark, the public dog park located next to The Vicinity, 205 Park Avenue.

Service Saturday will be a day for residents in the East Town and Mill District neighborhoods to gather together to help the homeless community and lend a hand in cleaning up the neighborhood.

Listen or join in the conversation with guest speakers on topics of awareness, volunteerism, and experiences centered around homelessness. Volunteers will assemble care packages and make fleece tie blankets for residents experiencing unsheltered homelessness within the community. Additionally, volunteers will receive garbage pick-up supplies to clean up around the neighborhood.

Guest speakers include Emily Bastian from Avivo Village, a volunteer from Supply Depot, and a person with lived experience of unsheltered homelessness.

All volunteers will receive a discounted drink ticket to W XYZ Bar in the Aloft Minneapolis Hotel and a $5 off voucher to Bacon Social House.
