Why We Chose the Name CLE Connect When we decided to evolve from Homeless Hookup to CLE Connect, it wasn't just a name change—it was a declaration of who we are, what we stand for, and where we're headed. Connection is at the heart of everything we do. Our mission goes far beyond providing essentials like food, clothing, and hygiene products. It's about building meaningful connections that create lasting change. From our clients to our volunteers, supporters, employees, and community partners—and even to you, our social media family—every connection matters. These connections are the threads that hold our community together. They create opportunities for growth, empathy, and change. Whether it's linking someone in need with life-saving services, partnering with local businesses to strengthen outreach, or sharing stories that inspire hope—we believe that every interaction holds the power to transform lives. CLE Connect symbolizes that belief. It's the connection between us and the people we serve. It's the connection between our volunteers and the community. It's the connection between supporters and our mission. It's the connection between Cleveland’s most vulnerable and the path to a better future. By choosing CLE Connect, we’re committing to being more than a service provider. We’re connectors, bridge-builders, and advocates for human dignity. If you've ever volunteered, donated, shared a post, or even "liked" one of our updates—you are a vital part of this network of connections. Thank you for being part of CLE Connect. Your support fuels our mission, and together, we’re building a more connected Cleveland. Want to deepen your connection with us? Volunteer, donate, or just keep following along. Every connection counts. Every connection changes lives. #CLEConnect #EveryConnectionMatters #CommunityDriven #ClevelandProud

On this day, we pause to remember the lives lost to overdose, support those who are grieving, and renew our commitment to preventing future tragedies. Overdose affects people from all walks of life, and behind each statistic is a person, a story, and loved ones left behind. At Homeless Hookup, we stand with our community to raise awareness, reduce stigma, and advocate for better access to resources that can save lives. This day is a reminder that we all have a role to play—whether through education, compassion, or advocacy—in preventing overdose and supporting those who struggle with addiction. If you or someone you know is at risk, please know that help is available. Together, we can make a difference. Let’s unite in hope, honor those we’ve lost, and take action for a brighter future. 💜 #InternationalOverdoseAwarenessDay #EndOverdose #SupportNotStigma
