july Focus: sanctuary night

Sanctuary Night is an organization committed to providing a safe space for vulnerable womxn all over Columbus. Starting on the Westside of Columbus in 2017, Sanctuary Night now has a drop-in center on the Southside and the Northside of Columbus as well. Circle of Hope hosts the Northside Drop-In on Sunday nights at 4:30, providing clothes, a meal, showers, hygiene items, resources, as well as a safe, home-like place for a couple hours. 

Since the end of January, we have met an estimated 25 unique womxn in Linden, providing food, clothes, and resources. As we continue to meet and build relationships with womxn in Linden, we are in need of weekly meals or food items, donations of clothes and hygiene items, and volunteers. 

For the month of July, we are highlighting Sanctuary Night as our Justice Partner of the month. Nancy Hashman, a peer support specialist at Sanctuary Night will be speaking on July 16th. There will also be a volunteer training scheduled if you are interested in learning more about the work or volunteering on Sunday evenings. 

We will be collecting donations specifically for Sanctuary Night throughout the month of July. You can bring donations to the Maize Campus on Sunday mornings, The Gathering Place on Sunday evenings, or email us to schedule a time to drop-off.
