Homelessness in Waldo County
As part of a new initiative in Belfast called “From Above” — a coalition of civic and church people to address homelessness in Waldo County — Kristen Burkholder is collecting comforters, warm blankets, thermal socks and any free-standing sources of heat (small space heaters etc) to donate. Please place your items in the great big blue bin in the Parish Hall. She will hand them over to David Smith and Matt Bolduc (who had an article written about him in the Bangor Daily News Nov. 25th), coordinators for From Above, and they will get them to homeless in the area who need them most.
In addition, tHohe December Fifth Sunday Plate will provide funds to respond to homeless crisis situations and related issues in Waldo County through the Priest’s Discretionary Fund.
