Off The Streets Furniture and Household Goods Collection -- Saturday June 4

Off the Streets works to get currently homeless people out of shelters and the streets into housing. We can act very quickly — the transition from homelessness to a furnished room or apartment can take place within a day or two.

We provide the following kinds of help:

• Moral support and encouragement — to help people believe that they can escape the trap of homelessness, and to help them retain their housing
• Security deposits and other financial support
• Furniture and household items

Furniture and household good collections are the first Saturday of each month from 10am to 12 noon behind the United Methodist Church 141 Greenwood Ave in Bethel.

Items most in demand are:

• Twin mattresses, box springs and metal frames -- We are in real need of these!!
• Dressers
• Small kitchen tables and chairs
