WILMINGTON — The 20th annual Cardboard City held over the weekend outside the Clinton County Courthouse gave young participants an idea of what homelessness feels like while raising awareness of the issue.
The event is also the Clinton County Homeless Shelter’s largest fundraiser, and it brought in donations from groups and individuals.
Cardboard City, which went from 6 p.m. Saturday to 5 a.m. Sunday, is sponsored by the Wilmington AM Rotary Club.
Denise Stryker, executive director at the Clinton County Homeless Shelter, told the News Journal last week, “The funds are much needed. Our numbers are not going down. We’re seeing more than 200 people every year — men, women, and children. The expenses don’t go down and our main source of income is donations.”
To donate to the shelter, contact Denise Stryker at 937-382-6272.
