Looking for Ways To Help the Homeless?

Donations are needed at the Welcome Inn.

Folks looking to lend a hand or drop off much-needed items have a list supplies needed at the Welcome Inn day center in Royal Oak.

The day center for the homeless during the winter months is a place where guests, mostly men aged 21 to 68, find warmth—both physical and spiritual. 

Roy Watson, of Clawson, the executive director, released a list of items the center desparately needs.
