Help Hope Hoodies!

School, football and falling leaves mean autumn is here, and Stephen Center is preparing for cooler temps! The community is invited to participate in the Help Hope Hoodies Clothing Drive by gathering gently used sweatshirts, sweatpants, hoodies and leggings in all sizes. Items will be distributed to men, women and children experiencing homelessness. “Families and individuals in crisis often don’t have the means to purchase appropriate clothing when the weather changes,” Executive Director Michael Wehling said. “Thanks to the generosity of the community, Stephen Center makes sure everyone is warm, comfortable and safe no matter the season.” Clothing can be dropped off at Stephen Center’s Donation Dock, located on the south side of the building at 2723 Q Street in Omaha. The dock is open Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., and Saturday and Sunday from noon – 4 p.m. Items for the Help Hope Hoodies Drive can also be purchased and shipped directly from Amazon by using Stephen Center’s AmazonSmile WishList.
