Singing Competition Helps Homeless

watch video

The next round of Erie's hottest singing contest is almost here.

Tomorrow night, you can sing your favorite karaoke-style song at the FOX 66 Noteworthy competition.

Up to 50 acts will participate in the monthly FOX 66 event, but organizers say this is not a karaoke contest.

Solo artists and groups will belt it out in hopes of nabbing the coveted title of Erie's Noteworthy.

The competitionwill be held at Quaker Steak & Lube.

The winners will receive prizes from FOX 66.

Proceeds raised go to one of four local non-profit organizations.

We're taking you inside one of those organizations, Community Shelter Services, for a look at what they do and who they help in our area.

They provide the local homeless population with everyday needs.

The basics we sometimes take for granted are provided, clothing, shoes, and three meals a day.

The program has three types of shelters under its care.

The first is family supportive housing.

People who need assistance can apply for an apartment in town that is under the supervision of the shelter.

Many of the tenants have jobs and pay a portion of the rent.

The second is dormatory housing.

Some of these dorms are occupied by mothers with children.

The third is the emergency shelter where people can come and stay temporarily.

It's open and staffed 24-hours a day, 7 days a week.

Community Shelter Services does more than just provide a place to stay. There is also counseling.

Again, Community Shelter Services is one of the non-profit organizations benefiting from the Noteworthy contest.

Tomorrow's competition will be held at Quaker Steak & Lube. Get there by 7p.m. to sign up.

You can also stop by all day long to donate items like canned food and small kitchen utensils and appliances that Community Shelter Services needs.
