SAFFORD — The House of Hope Sober Living Facility and Recovery Angels are doing something to help the homeless this holiday season.
The two groups are collecting coats, blankets and other cold-weather apparel to hand out to the homeless on Christmas Eve.
“It not (just) to help people, it’s showing them to get out in the community (and) show them what recovery looks like, show them what sobriety looks like. You know, people can change,” said Jason Baca, manager of the House of Hope.
Donated items can be dropped off at the House of Hope, 608 W. 1st St. in Safford, now through Dec. 23. Or call 928-322-9848 to arrange a donation.
