I wanted to do something good and make the world a better place. When I found out about the hundreds of families, individuals and veterans in our community with nowhere to call home - I knew I had to do something to help!
That's why I am participating in Gimme Shelter 2024. On the evening of Friday, February 16th, I will be spending the night outside at the Peoria RiverPlex or at the Miller Center in Pekin, Illinois, in a cardboard box or vehicle. I will experience a bit of what it's ike to be outside, overnight, in the Central Illinois cold - something that homeless people face every night of the year! The money I raise will help Phoenix Community Development Services to provide the permanent supportive housing and homeless outreach services that are necessary end homelessness in our community. Please support my efforts with your contribution today!
