Sandra and Amy (they were laughing together over what was the Spanish word for newspaper [She didn’t speak English, and Amy was translating for the news photographer]).Tuesday's Salem Homeless Connect was a great success! This was the 2nd Annual with over 80 Service providers, ranging from information from non-profit agencies throughout the city, to services like haircuts, dental and vision checks, bike repairs, vet checks. There were in-kind donations of clothing, and a full-service café for breakfast and lunch.
As a part of her AmeriCorps service (for National Service Day) CSC's own Amy Crevola spent a very meaningful day giving hand massages.
She set up a station (2 towel-covered chairs) and a basket of lotions (choices: lavender, milk & honey, or unscented for ultra-dry skin) and gave hand massages to over 30 wonderful people who are low-income/experiencing homelessness (she is a Licensed Massage Therapist).
Full coverage of the Connect event is located in the Salem Statesman Journal newspaper.
Way to go Amy!
