Ascension's Social Concerns and Action Committee is collecting donations of blankets (new) and coats (clean) in adult sizes ranging from small to large for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and questioning (LGBTQ) homeless youth served by the Streetworks drop-in centers on the Lower East Side and Harlem. Streetwork clients (children, teens and young adults up to age 24) are often victims of violence and abuse. At Streetworks they can feel safe, empowered, cared for and encouraged as they move from crisis to confidence. Please drop off blankets and coats at the basket in the Nave on Sundays, or at the Parish House during regular office hours.
