Christian Community Action is weeks away from renovating and reopening a 5,400 square-foot three- apartment wood-frame house on Davenport Avenue where it houses homeless families. It got $50,000 from the state to paint, replace floors, sheetrock, and otherwise make liveable again the 1910-built house. Now the agency needs donations to fill the place: couches, chairs, beds, plates, silverware, towels, pillows… anything to help some of 40-50 families currently with no place to turn find a spot to settle for a while. Call CCA’s Bonita Grubbs or Lillian Marquez (pictured on the house’s first floor) at 777-7848 to arrange to donate items or cash to buy them.
