2021 CHARITY DONATIONS

We are starting to collect socks for the homeless, all ages this summer. If you see them on sale, please share with members. Cheryl is coordinating a way for you to purchase online or drop off to her. Watch for updates.

We learned that Kroger has a 90% off sale on hats and gloves. If you are shopping in Kroger and would like to purchase, we will find a non-profit later in the year to donate to.

We are continuing to collect new or gently used children books for an ongoing donation to Franklin County Job & Family Services. The books are given to children of families that are in great need.

If you have old or gently-used suitcases (larger ones with wheels) or backpacks, foster children need them when they arrive or leave their new home.

Please contact Cheryl at 614-774-8879 for pick-up or drop-off arrangements.
