Homeless and Formerly Homeless Citizens Volunteer




The Cabell-Huntington Coalition for the Homeless asked some of their homeless residents and formerly homeless citizens to volunteer to tidy up the 4th Avenue area around the agency's 627 4th Avenue location on Wednesday, May 9th.


And what a great job they did! The photo on the right is the finished product. Doesn't it look great? And all the folks who participated were so very proud of their volunteer effort. I was proud to be a member of their team, and I want to personally thank them for their enthusiasm and hard work.

John Mendez, Executive Director, is planning to have his "litter-gitters" in action each Wednesday morning. I look forward to working each week with my new friends. Together, we can accomplish anything we can imagine!
