Helping Sidewalk Warriors year-round

Those Terrace residents who have been contributing clothing items to the Troy charity organization called Sidewalk Warriors at our holiday luncheons for the past few years might be interested in this activity update.

Each Thursday evening in the parking lot at 35 State Street in Troy, dozens of volunteers set up tables for their weekly distribution. Visitors can find hot foods, sandwiches, produce, pantry items and essentials. The group often provides distribution of such items as towels, linens, pillows, winter boots, underwear, socks, and laundry detergent. 

The people who attend the distribution may, according to Sidewalk Warriors, "be experiencing homelessness or food insecurity, or they may simply be running short on resources at the end of the month."

Set up for the weekly distribution events begins at 5 p.m. each Thursday, and volunteers begin serving at 6 p.m., "no matter the weather." 

Additional information about the Sidewalk Warriors is available online here and here.
