Folks out at the PennDOT homeless encampment gave their support to the unhoused Sunday afternoon.
The table was available to all unhoused individuals in the area from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. Just one hour in and the table was nearly empty. Folks out at the PennDOT homeless encampment on Sunday gave their support to the unhoused.
After the recent eviction from the Market St. encampment site, a group of people set up a "survival table" at the site, offering a variety of items to those in need.The donations included anything from soap to first aid kits to harm reduction supplies. People helping out at the site asked to remain anonymous due to safety concerns, but CBS21's Maxine Rose was able to speak with an organizer who said the time to step up is now.
"We believe that in order to build solidarity and to build true community you have to be able to go out and to help and make direct relationships of reciprocity and solidarity with your unhoused neighbors," they said.For those of you interested in donating, the organizer said to look out for posts on social media ahead of time.
