Ursus Gallery 2814 Fishinger Rd. Upper Arlington www.ursusartspace.com The Family Center is the focus of a month long juried art exhibition at the Ursus Gallery. The YWCA currently operates the Interfaith Hospitality network in partnership with the central Ohio faith community to serve homeless children and their families. The program functions with woefully inadequate day facilities and a complicated network of transportation systems to sleeping facilities. These factors make the difficult work of stabilizing families already in crisis even more demanding. Now, thanks to the YWCA, community, and corporate efforts, a new 24 hour shelter will provide accommodations to help families get back on their feet.
