Hello from the Sacred Heart Chapel in Lorain where I am doing Ohio Benefit Bank and Second Harvest Foodbank outreach. It is a wide-open, well-lit room with a stage, a concession stand, and basketball hoops. There are lots of young children running around and playing with the games and crafts set out. There is also someone dressed up in a Red Robin mascot costume; the kids are fascinated/terrified.
I appreciate when communities pull together to offer a resource fair. It gathers multiple resources in one place (which makes outreach easier for the resources) and it gathers people together in a space they feel comfortable. It is hard to ask for help or know where to go. I am having much more success handing out the Santa Land flyers advertising Santa's visit to Lorain County Community College than I am passing out food assistance literature.
