February 9th Home Away From Home will be hosting our third potluck of the school year for HSU students at the D Street Neighborhood Center.

This one will honor Black History Month and feature a local spoken word poet as well as DJ L Boogie on the 1s and 2s.

College students are invited to join us and enjoy a free meal and help themselves to donated items from the “Free Stuff Table.”

Non-student members of the community who wish to attend the potluck are asked to bring a dish large enough to serve ten people with a serving utensil or a hot pad if needed. College students are asked to only bring their appetites!

To support the needs of our local college students, the focus for this event’s “Free Stuff Table” is household items to help create comfortable homes. We are currently accepting donations of new or clean and lightly used household items in addition to unopened, non-perishable food items, laundry detergent and unused toiletry items.

A donation drop-off station will be set up at Arcata City Hall, located at 736 F Street, on Tuesday, September 3 through Friday, September 6 from 9 AM to 5 PM.

*Please note that donations of opened or partially-used food items, unwashed or stained household items and homemade food items cannot be accepted.
