“Everyone in Pottstown CARES is committed to giving back to the community we cherish,” said Sheridan Ameo, Hill class of ’22. “There’s so much to love about Pottstown. I’ve never met a community so willing to band together and make a real difference. The Welcome Home Concert is our attempt to show gratitude toward the town we care about so much.”
Student leader Nethmin Liyange, Hill ’20, says, “The Welcome Home concert is an amazing opportunity for students from different schools to come together and support an important cause. The concert is a way to raise awareness for the problems of homelessness faced within the Pottstown community.
“I hope in the future this event continues to get bigger and bigger, and hopefully we can help even more,” she added.
Trojan organizers include,Chloe Hebert, David Hicks, Mariana Pearson and David Wallace.
The Rev. Kork Moyer, director of Ministries at Main Street, said any contribution from the event will be used toward housing and housing subsidies for “our guests as they transition into their own homes.”
“Homelessness is not the absence of housing, but the absence of all that creates a home,” Moyer said. “What makes a home is the nurture of family and friends. We thank the CARES students and the supporters of this event for becoming part of a really big and diverse family with us.”
The CARES student leadership team is comprised of students from The Hill School, Pottstown School District, Montgomery County Community College, and, recently, Perkiomen Valley. Students serving on the CARES leadership team were appointed based on their organizational skills and desire to serve the community in a meaningful way.
