A benefit has been organized to help the homeless in Centralia.

Help the Homeless’ will be held at Rumors Tavern at 500 North James Street in Centralia from six to ten on Saturday night.  Several local comedians and musicians are donating time to the event.  There will be a sloppy joe sandwich or meal available.

One of those behind the event, Brandy Santiago, said she wanted to do something to help the homeless after seeing six or seven each night outside the Centralia Regional Library.

“I was thinking what I could do to actually help them, maybe a hotel or something like that. More than just food.    So I set up a benefit.  All of the money raised from the benefit will go to the BCMW in town and they can distribute it out.”

There will also be a collection of clothing and personal items that will go to a church with free distribution and canned goods for the Centralia food pantries.
