Rockford United Labor, Northwest Trades provide Superbowl party for homeless
Rockford Register Star
ROCKFORD Rockford United Labor and the Northwestern Illinois Building Trades recently joined forces to help provide a last-minute Superbowl party for those who are homeless.
Second First Church pastor Rebecca Newgren put the word out that her volunteers expected a lot of people seeking shelter at the Overnight Café over that weekend, given the cold temperatures. She put the call out for hand warmers, water, monetary donations and snacks and food for the overnight guests who would get to watch the Superbowl from a warm and safe place.
