SCR Featured on WKYC

Hardworking volunteers meet at SCR twice a week and use plastic grocery bags to crochet waterproof, lightweight mats for the homeless.  SCR's mat making group was featured on “We The People” last week - watch the segment here! “We The People” is WKYC’S Channel 3 community engagement show with Leon Bibb & Tiffany Tarpley, where we inspire viewers to get out in our community and get involved.
