A Lancaster nonprofit offers hope to the homeless as they transition to permanent housing.
"When you think of homeless people, they've just been down on their luck a lot of times, and that's what we're here for," said 'Off the Streets' president Don Cronauer.
The nonprofit based in Lancaster covers most security deposits and helps furnish new spaces. But volunteers say the mission extends far beyond that. "We don't just bring furniture," said volunteer Lena Hohenadel."We're bringing respect, dignity and hope."Volunteers help get them back on their feet by collecting, organizing and distributing donations.
"Beds, dressers, sheets, comforters and shower curtains," said Hohenadel."We have everything you need for the kitchen and dining. It's all those basic things to furnish a home and to make an empty place a home.""The folks that we help are so grateful and don't ask for everything they need," said Hohenadel."So we're astounded by their generosity.""Frequently I have seen tears in their eyes," said quilter Jennifer Funck.
"This van means so much more than just moving things," said Hohenadel."It's a family waiting to sleep on a bed, to eat on a table."'4 Paws 4 a Cause' continues in popularity, growth and in need of expansion | On the Bright SideWPMT would like to send you push notifications about the latest news and weather.
