1. HELP ST. CLAIR WEST HOMELESS
Homelessness is not just a downtown issue. Talk to the people at Wychwood Open Door, an org that supports marginalized and socially isolated people in the St. Clair West area, and they’ll assure you that midtown has its own share of homeless people. Help fund the org and support the people it helps at Come To The Cabaret! The event features performances by Amanda Martinez, David Wall, Roula Said and more Friday (June 12) at St. Matthew’s Church (729 St. Clair West). 7 pm, $25. www.wychwoodopendoor.org/events
