Portage Kiwanis:

Today we are teaming up with Porter County E911 and Portage Fire to help to put safety wristbands on children at the Porter County Fair. We place a wrist band on a child with the parents mobile number inside. If the child becomes separated from their family they are immediately returned via a Porter County Sheriffs Officer.

The wrist bands are available each day 10-8pm inside Gate 1 in the white tent.

Speaker/Program:
Gabriel's Horn Executive Director Monica Hammond gave us an overview of her background and Gabriel's Horn....which is a Woman and children's shelter for those who for a variety of reasons are homeless and need a place to live until they get back on their feet. Typically they would be able to stay from 6 - 7 months. During which time they can try to save money if they are employed as there are no rent or utility expenses at the shelter. There will be tours of the facility starting in July.

Monica is originally from the Chicago area and spent 13 years in the Atlanta area with the United Way. Please follow the link below to learn more about how Gabriel's Horn helps women and children in Porter County.
