Holiday Heater Meals For The Homeless
For this year's holiday drive, the Downtown Residents Council is asking for donations to provide Heater Meals for the homeless. These are meals that are very similar to the military ready-to-eat meals that are self-contained, have a long shelf life, include a heater and can be used at any time.
The DRC will use donations to buy cases of meals and give them to Chico Lockhart and Derrick Chance of the DCI Outreach program. They, in turn, will offer them to the homeless as part of the work they do to encourage the homeless to access services that can help them get their lives back on track.
Weâll be taking donations at the holiday party on Dec. 10 (invitations go out after Thanksgiving!) or you can mail a check made payable to the DRC (with Heater Meals on the memo line) to: DRC, PO Box 868, Cincinnati, OH 45201.
Thank you all - and happy holidays!
Sue Byrom
DRC President
Our Downtown on the Move
Downtown Cincinnati is now home to over 6,000 residents, with more arriving every month as new condos and apartment homes are completed. The Downtown Residents Council works to develop a community atmosphere, conducts projects to improve the quality of life, and voices concerns of residents at City Hall.
We work closely with the Police Department on safety issues and Downtown Cincinnati Inc. and 3CDC on development and promotion efforts.
