A lost job. A health crisis. Rent that became impossible to keep up with.
There are many ways someone can experience homelessness, and the help they need can look different, too.
This World Homeless Day, your gift can help provide food, shelter, and practical support for neighbors experiencing homelessness in neighbors across Northeast Ohio.
Whatever brought someone to this moment, you can help them take the next step: salarmy.us/NEO-SupportYourNeighbors ❤️

A child's first day of school is about so much more than new backpacks and fresh notebooks.

It's about walking through the doors feeling confident, prepared, and like they belong.

For many families, back-to-school assistance can make that first day a little brighter. Your generosity helps provide the support children need to start the school year with confidence and reminds parents they don't have to face it alone.

Together, we can help children start strong. https://salarmy.us/NEO-HelpAChildSucceed
