A local woman will be collecting donations for the homeless next week in Woodstock. Celina Myers says she is hoping to fill her hearse with a number of items, that she will distribute to the homeless.

WOODSTOCK - A Woodstock woman is looking to fill her hearse full of backpacks, clothes and other supplies for the homeless. 

You may have noticed Celina Myers driving her hearse around town, as it is a real head turner. Myers says she wanted to something after seeing a lot more homeless people on Dundas Street in Woodstock recently. 

"I think a lot of it was in the last year, seeing how the homelessness in our community has exploded. Driving down Dundas lately during the construction and seeing the amount of people sleeping in doorways, walking around, even going back that evening and seeing that many people out at night, that didn't have a place to go." 

Myers says she hopes that more people will join this cause.

"I want to inspire people to do things, it doesn't take an army, it just takes one person saying hey, I want to make a change, I want to make a difference in someone's life and it can be as simple as handing them a backpack full of supplies." 

Myers will be collecting donations next Week on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday at the Great Canadian Dollar Store parking lot on Springbank Ave from 6-7:30 pm.  She plans to distribute the items herself to homeless people in Woodstock and the surrounding area.
