CHICO — The impact of the recession has brought more families than ever to Esplanade House, a transitional housing program designed to provide shelter and essential services for homeless families.
Federal and state budget cuts have left Esplanade House short $126,000.
The focus this holiday season is the Angel Wall, filled with names of children who reside at the shelter. Staff suggest that people buy one less toy for their children this year, and instead, make a cash donation in that amount in their children's names.
The shelter is at 181 E. Shasta Ave. People can drop by and make a donation, or send a check to Esplanade House Children's Fund, P.O. Box 3251, Chico, CA 95927.
Gloria Rodgers is executive director at the shelter. Call 891-2977.
