 One of our shelter managers
has asked for
a propane grill
so they can cook outside
now that the nicer weather is here. 
The one that was donated many years ago
has finally worn out after much use. 
If this is something
you or a group you belong to
would consider donating,
please call Gio to discuss particulars with her. 
She can be reached most evenings

We created a Birthday Room to provide new toys and gifts for children having a birthday who are staying in our shelters or whose families have no resources to celebrate it!  We also collect party plates, hats, napkins and candles.  Have birthday supplies left over from your own child's party?  Drop them off!  We can use them!
 
 
  Paperbacks!  Hardcovers! 
Best Sellers!  Fiction!  Non-Fiction!
If you have books and magazines you've already enjoyed reading and want to pass along....think of us!  We have bookshelves in our kitchen
that people can select books and magazines
from to take with them and read.  
We will be happy to recycle yours!
