Turning the Page – In
Honor of Creed Black’s Birthday
Elsa and Michelle Black have established this fund in honor of Creed
Black. The purpose is to make sure that there will always be sufficient
books and educational items (including, but not limited to,
instructional games and videos, computers, school uniforms and
backpacks, outdoor learning equipment, online subscriptions and contest
scholarships) at both homeless assistance centers. Ideally this fund
will keep the reading shelves well-stocked and allow adults and children
to take books with them as they begin the new chapters in their lives.
Elsa and Michelle have been collecting new and gently-used books for
the homeless since Michelle was in elementary school, and she made it
her bat mitzvah charity project three years ago as well. To date, they
have been able to donate over 2,300 books to Community Partnership for
Homeless and currently have nearly 400 books (and counting) to be picked
up by summer's end.
This fund was kept a secret from Creed until the day of his birthday.

Checks should be made out to: Community Partnership for Homeless with
memo stating “Turning the Page” and mailed to:
