Next, members and volunteers handed out 350 bags filled with soap, women’s hygiene products, hand sanitizer, socks, hats, gloves, chapstick, deodorant and lotion.

Empowering Cuts provided free haircuts.

The event marked the fifth year the Block Gives Back has treated the homeless of Center City. ••
