are needed to staff the house, help rehab the rooms, do landscaping,
prepare meals, help with laundry, work on fundraising and
more. Volunteers are also needed for our five standing
committees on the "Our
People" page.

Lockport CARES is looking to the community for conceptual and material
support. First it is important that people outside of our own
organizational committee recognize the problem of homelessness and
embrace the emergency shelter as a response. Second, and
equally important, donations will be the lifeblood of Lockport
CARES. This effort will need money, property, clothing, food,
and volunteers. Businesses, corporations, and private
citizens will be the source of these donations. Our most
immediate need is finding a building suitable for the shelter and
raising funds to put it into operation. Anyone interested in
making a donation may do so by contacting Jim Haid at (716) 433-5252.
