Still No Home for 'We Care'

Group still looking for a place to store its donations to Appalachian children

We Care, a Strongsville-based group that provides Christmas meals and gifts to hundreds of kids in the Appalachian region of West Virginia, still has no place to drop off or store donated items.

The group lost its home when a  just south of Royalton Road was razed.

For more than two decades, We Care used space at ERA Page One Realty, 14400 Pearl Rd., as a collection and packing site.

"We would box and pack there," said Terry Evans, who runs We Care. "We also had some room to store our food."

The group is hoping someone in the community will donate about 800 square feet it can use from for the next few weeks to collect and pack clothes, toys and food it loads into trucks and delivers to children in one of the poorest areas of the United States.
