March Charity

THE ROAD HOME

March's Charity is a homeless shelter in Salt Lake. Along with emergency shelter for homeless people, they also provide case management services to help people get on their feet permanently and find homes. It is estimated that there are at least 4,000 people across Utah who are homeless each night. The numbers have grown about 8% from 1991 to 1999, with the most rapid growth in the number of homeless children, which increased 53% from 1991 to 1999. These people are poor, staying on the streets, in a shelter or substance abuse treatment center, and most have no resources to meet their basic needs. 57% of the homeless population are single men, 9% single women, 14% adults in families and 18% children. In addition to money they will also accept donation of needed items including: Pillows, blankets, towels, hats and gloves, etc. Here is the link to their "needed items" page if you're interested in donating anything: https://www.theroadhome.org/pdfs/Needs%20List1.pdf
