On cold winter nights, where temperatures can reach below freezing, there are around 4,000 individuals who are homeless. This year in Cleveland, due to shelters closing, more individuals and families experience homelessness. The Stand Down is three days in February when Clevelanders come together for respite, renewal and reconnection. Live entertainment plays while volunteers and guests eat together and converse. Haircuts, health screens, and hot meals are provided each day, ending with bag lunches, clothing articles, and personal care kits for the guests when they are ready to leave. We encourage InterAct members to join in as volunteers for the event to learn about the truth of homelessness in Cleveland by helping, by conversing and striking up dialogues with those you meet. This event is for Clevelanders standing together. The days of the event are: February 1st, a Friday, from 9 - 2 at the Cleveland Convention Center
February 9th, a Saturday, from 10 - 3 at Pilgrim Congregational Church
February 18th, a Monday, from 10 - 3 at Trinity Cathedral
