On one special day, Sunday May 14th, 2017 Columbus Coalition for the Homeless will sponsor its 17th annual Mother's Day Brunch. The Marsha Donner Mother's Day Brunch is an annual event that serves women who are currently or have formerly received services from Columbus area shelters. The Brunch is a celebration to recognize the importance of mothers and motherhood, with a special invitation extended to currently and formerly homeless mothers and their children.

The Mother’s Day Brunch provides mothers with an elegant brunch on the campus of Capital University. Each mother receives a corsage upon entrance to the event. Each table is graced with a floral arrangement and special cookie favors. During the brunch, professional photographers are available to provide family portraits; free children's books and a gift bag for each mother in attendance are provided.
