18South tells council borough donations help homeless teens with meals, showers and resumes
Summary
Chris and Bronwyn Kenna of 18South thanked council for borough donations and described services the funding supports for homeless teens, including meals, showers, help obtaining IDs, and resume assistance.
Chris and Bronwyn Kenna, who represent 18South at 17 N. Main St., addressed the Red Lion Borough work session to thank council members for recent financial support and to describe how those funds are used.
"The monies donated from the borough provide a safe space, a second home, a hot meal, mental health support, homeless teens a place to rest, help getting ID’s, write resumes, emergency showers, washer and dryer to clean their clothes," the Kennas told the council. They also distributed brochures about 18South to every council member.
The Kennas framed the borough donation as support for a range of basic services for youth experiencing homelessness and asked council to continue that assistance. The public comment occurred at the start of the Nov. 3 work session; no formal action was taken during this meeting.
