THANK YOU to ThisWeek Community Newspapers and reporter Alan Froman for this nice story on the Bed Brigade - Grove City, which is building beds for Central Ohioans in need (principally, children). Rotarians from the Rotary Club of Westerville, Upper Arlington and Columbus have enjoyed the rewarding community service of pitching in to build and assemble these beds. An amazing operation, and we are proud to be a little part of it!
Bed Brigade never gets tired of helping central Ohio children get a good night's sleep

Anyone who has had a disrupted night of sleep knows what that can mean come daybreak. Imagine the impact for a child who never gets a good night of rest because he or she doesn't have a bed.

We had a fantastic meeting today with almost 40 club members in attendance! Ann Bischoff shared what's happening with @starhousecolumbus, Central Ohio's only drop-in center for youth, ages 14-24, who are experiencing homelessness and their small children. The update includes the opening of the Carol Stewart Village in Franklinton. Their top needs right now are new clothing donations, mentors, grocery store driving service provided by a church or established organization, and donations since funding is being cut and needs are greater because of the pandemic. See starhouse.us/donate to learn more.
