Gifts of Hope
for The Homeless
We are collecting diapers, pull-ups—
size 5+ and larger, wipes and travel/
small size toiletries. The diapers and
wipes will be given to a family whose
children are autistic, living at The Salvation Army. The
small size toiletries will be used by the Salvation Army
PACEM and Word of Faith to share with the many
homeless in our local communities. A new toothbrush,
toothpaste, bar of soap, shampoo, deodorant, women’s personal hygiene products are all small but very
effective means of improving the quality of life many
of our neighbors are experiencing. Collection boxes are
located in the Welcome area through the end of
March.
