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.

KROGER COMMUNITY REWARDS
Thank you ladies for shopping at Kroger and choosing to benefit the Daughters of Erin. Just this week we received a check for $104.33! This money is raised from Kroger Cards registered through Kroger Community Rewards.
Signing up or registering your account is easy to do. The best part is that YOU still receive your Kroger rewards (coupons, fuel perks, etc) but behind the scenes, the Daughters of Erin receives a percentage of what you spend at the Kroger Store.
In the search field, type in Daughters of Erin or enter the organization # 81910.
Thank you for your support!
