More than 1,000 children across the state will spend the holidays in shelters this season, including at the Spooner House in Shelton.
Bears, books and baby blankets were recently donated as part of the Connecticut Coalition to End Homelessness’s “Be Homeful for the Holidays“ campaign.
People could donate Paddington gifts to children in shelters with the money raised going to the “be homeful” fund thanks to generous support from the CT REALTORS Foundation, Citizens Bank and United Way.
The “be homeful” funds provide emergency assistance that frontline workers can access to help local families remain in their homes rather than enter the shelter system.
More than 750 children in Connecticut have remained housed thanks to be homeful funds.
It’s not too late to donate a Paddington gift to a child in shelter. Visit www.behomeful.org/give to donate today.
