As you are doing your Fall cleaning, be sure to set aside any coats, jackets, sweaters, and shoes you no longer wear. Accessories such as hats, gloves, and socks that are still in good shape, or that you've simply never used, are welcome, too!
Our youth group and Sandra Conley are collecting the clothing items, and they are also asking for donations of pantry stable items that will go into the making of Blessing Bags to be shared with the homeless.
Diapers of all sizes are requested as well, even if it's an open package. Usable diapers are needed for little ones and older folks, too, and are quite costly in the stores.
Donations for the youth project may be placed in the Education Building kitchen; please be sure to mark them "Blessing Bags" so we know they are donated for that purpose.
For anything canned, be sure to get cans that have pull-tabs, not those that require a can opener. People who are homeless do not always have a can opener, so it greatly helps to have cans that open easily.
The shoe drive continues, with shoes being collected to benefit the Spina Bifida Association. Linda Roberson is leading this effort, and she has placed a shoe donation box in the Education Building.
Thank you for supporting this ministry as the cold weather season approaches. Your generosity will bless so many in need!
