WELCOME |
Welcome to the 20th year of the Center for the Homeless. From that first day on December 18, 1988 through today, the Center has served more than 44,000 men, women and children by linking them with the programs, agencies and people who can help them break the cycle of homelessness. Partnerships have been forged and fostered to allow us to offer the best services to the people who need them the most.
On the River August 14-15 For 20 years, the Center for the Homeless has recognized that the issue of homelessness in our community is a shared responsibility. No single organization or person is accountable for the care, shelter and support of our impoverished citizens. It takes an army of dedicated volunteers and community partners creatively working together to tackle this pervasive condition. On the River 2008 transformed a vacant city lot into a full-fledged beach, literally changing the landscape of downtown South Bend for one day. Highlights include A two-day event with one day geared toward families & children VISIT Ontheriverfest.com For more information, please contact Jacqueline Kronk (574) 282-8700 ext 424
