The Cleveland Street Chronicle, a publication with deep roots in advocacy and empowerment, has announced the release of its sixth annual holiday wrapping paper edition. This seasonal initiative, spearheaded by the Northeast Ohio Coalition for the Homeless (NEOCH), is part of the “Wrap Up Homelessness” campaign—a creative and impactful way to support the local homeless population.
Since 1991, the Cleveland Street Chronicle has served as a platform for individuals with lived experience of homelessness. The street newspaper not only provides a means of income for vendors who buy and sell the paper, but it also amplifies the voices of people experiencing homelessness, offering a space for self-expression and advocacy.
This year’s wrapping paper edition brings together the spirit of the holidays with the mission of raising awareness and funds for those facing housing insecurity. Designed to double as festive wrapping paper, this special issue is sold by the Chronicle’s vendors—many of whom have experienced homelessness themselves—and is available both in-person and online.
Where to Find the Wrapping Paper
Customers looking to participate in the campaign can purchase the wrapping paper from badged vendors stationed at the back of the West Side Market in Cleveland. For added convenience, copies can also be ordered online at www.neoch.org/wrapuphomelessness.
Additionally, several local stores have joined the campaign, making the wrapping paper more accessible throughout the Cleveland area. These collaborations allow the community to come together and share the message of “Wrap Up Homelessness” while enjoying a unique, heartfelt product for their holiday gifts.
The “wrapping paper” issue has become a beloved tradition for the Cleveland Street Chronicle, drawing enthusiastic support from both vendors and customers. By blending holiday cheer with a meaningful cause, the campaign offers a way for Cleveland residents to make a tangible difference during the season of giving.
“Wrap Up Homelessness” isn’t just about holiday decor—it’s a symbol of hope, resilience, and the power of community support. By purchasing this wrapping paper, Clevelanders can contribute to NEOCH’s mission of addressing homelessness while spreading joy through a thoughtful, creative product.
This holiday season, make your gifts stand out with wrapping paper that tells a story and supports a worthy cause. Join the Cleveland Street Chronicle and NEOCH in their efforts to “Wrap Up Homelessness” and bring a little more kindness to Northeast Ohio.
