Empty Shelves

Thank you for the donations over the last week.  I made a delivery today and learned that 1893 kits have been distributed YTD.  What an amazing service we are helping to provide in our community!

This was the first time that I have ever noticed near empty shelves in the kit production area.  Towels are desperately needed!  According to Linda, a bath towel can be purchased for $1.97 at Wal-Mart.  If you run into any other fantastic deals, please let me know.

Also, the donated school supplies are nearly gone.  This is the ideal time of year to remedy that.  All the stores are starting to post their fabulous deals on back to school supplies.  Since things are available at such reduced prices, I think it would be great to buy as much as we can.  It's bang for your buck, so to speak!  These are the items that are currently needed:  washable crayons, washable markers, colored pencils, pens, pencils, rulers, pencil sharpeners, erasers, scissors, school glue, glue sticks, notebooks, and book bags.

If you are willing and able to help, it is much appreciated. Donations are accepted any time and can be left on Heidi's porch.
