Description

Join CGB and Southeast Healthcare as we assemble backpacks to be distributed to the local homeless community What: Southeast Healthcare received a grant last year to make 3,000 vinyl backpacks and distribute them to the homeless in the Columbus Franklin County community. They are about 75% done with assembling the bags (about 20 items each!) and could use help with assembling the remaining bags. When: Monday, June 21, 3 PM - 5 PM Event Leaders: [email protected] Where: Southeast Healthcare, 16 W. Long St. Columbus, OH 43215 COVID-19 Precautions: All Columbus Gives Back volunteers are required to wear face masks and observe social distancing for all indoor volunteer events. Volunteers who are sick, especially with fever or any number of Covid-19 symptoms, should stay home. We will follow whatever safety policy our nonprofit partners have in addition to the safety precautions listed above. Any volunteers determined to neglect these precautions and put other volunteers or the people we serve at risk will be dismissed from the event.
