Community Circle of Care Blanket Blitz
On the day of the Sleep Out, Community Circle of Care will be collecting new blankets to be distributed to local agencies serving the homeless. As winter draws near agencies have a great need for blankets. This year, we are requesting only new blankets (or those handmade for donation) due to the ongoing bed bug epidemic.
Please bring your blanket donations to the First Presbyterian Church across from Greene Square Park on
November 12th
between 3pm and 9pm.

Linn County Veterans Affairs, Community Circle of Care and several other social service agencies invite the public to participate in the 6th Annual Sleep Out for the Homeless.
On any given day people are in need of shelter in Linn County and many are our military veterans!
Roughly 5,000 individuals accessed emergency shelters and transitional housing programs in Linn County last year. More than half of those people were children.
