Campaign for emergency shelter and housing programs kicks off sixth year

The sixth annual Claire’s Campaign kicked off for Inn from the Cold on Monday night at a concert put on by Tom Olsen and the Wreckage.

The annual campaign was started by Gary Nissen in honor of his mom, Claire.
Executive Director Abe Brown said that Nissen wanted to do something to give back with his resources.
“Over the past five years we have raised a little bit more than $4 million,” Brown said. “This has gone towards our emergency shelter program and towards our housing program because we don’t want people trapped in the shelter, we want to get them threw shelter and into sustainable housing.”
This year Nissen along with his sister Karen Zutter and the Hutchinson family are going to match donations up to $400,000.
All funds raised will continue to go towards the emergency shelter and housing programs.
Donations can be made either in person at the shelter or innfromthecold.org.
