The Corrigan Krause staff participates in “Community Service Day” twice a year. This winter, the staff took shifts sorting donations at the West Side Catholic Center in Cleveland’s historic Ohio City neighborhood.
The West Side Catholic Center is a homeless shelter that offers hospitality, hot meals, clothing, and services to the underprivileged men, women, and children in the Cleveland area. One of their biggest fundraisers is called the “Giving Tree,” where they collect clothing donations and distribute them to those in need.
Corrigan Krause held our own Giving Tree collection, then went to the West Side Catholic Center in groups and helped sort the thousands of donations that came in from all over Cleveland. It was a moving experience and we are happy to have participated!
