**Community Support Needed: Weekly Shelter Essentials & New Beginnings!** 🏡✨

Our family shelter is running low on a few daily essentials, and we are reaching out to our community for a little help! If you’re out shopping this week, picking up a few extra items makes a massive difference for the families we serve.

**Shelter Supply Needs:**

* Window cleaner
* SOS scrubbing pads (or similar scrubbers)
* Shower curtain liners
* Paper goods (plates, bowls, napkins, plasticware)

**Move-Out Support:**
We also have a family getting ready to transition into their own home! Starting fresh from scratch is a huge milestone, and they could use basic home starter supplies to help them get settled:

* Cleaning supplies (all-purpose cleaner, floor cleaner, dish soap)
* Bathroom basics (plunger, toilet brush, new towels)
* Household essentials (laundry detergent, trash bags)

📍 **Drop-Off Information:**
Donations can be dropped off directly at the Lessig-Booth Family Residence located at 137 King Street, Pottstown, PA 19464 from 8 AM to 8 PM at our receptionist desk. You can also ship items directly to our building.

Every box of trash bags, bottle of cleaner, or stack of paper plates helps us maintain a clean, welcoming environment and gives a local family a strong start in their new chapter. Thank you so much for your continuous support and generosity! ❤️
