A group of local skaters have teamed up with local drag queen Annie Christ and Ryan Weiss from Round Guys Brewing Company to host a charity event benefitting the Trinity Lutheran Code Blue Shelter next month.
The event, dubbed “Skater-Aid,” has been scheduled for May 22 from noon to 4 p.m. at the Carl W. Saldutti Jr. Skatepark on East Fourth Street in Lansdale Borough.
“The North Penn area has a great history of stepping up and assisting those in need,” said Weiss. “We recognized that, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, area residents may be more in need now than ever. After reaching out to Trinity Lutheran Church in an effort to support their Code Blue shelter, the team was met with open arms by Pastor Fritz Fowler.”
Organizers are seeking supplies for the Code Blue shelter, including:
To maintain proper social distancing for the drop-off event, organizers request that those who wish to donate place the items in their trunk, or back seat of their vehicles, for a no-contact collection in the parking lot area closest to the skatepark.
Trinity Lutheran Church —located on the corner of West Main Street and Valley Forge Road in Lansdale — maintains a Code Blue shelter for the colder months of the year. Their program provides those in need with a warm place to sleep, food, toiletries, and hygiene supplies.
