With the storm coming up We put more hygiene bags and hand warmers in the Blessing Boxes. If there is something in the hygiene bag that you don't need please take it out and leave it for someone who does. With the hand warmers please keep in mind that We have people that will need these as for some it could potentially be their only source of heat.

We are very grateful for everyone's support as we wouldn't be able to do this without all of you!

We are in need of small amount of gift cards for the grocery stores and the gas stations to be handed out on these two days to the homeless we make contact with. We will be making bags up and will post other items that we will be in need of for those who would like to donate. The items can be dropped off with us or you can make arrangements with YSS if you would rather drop them off there.
Thank you everyone for your kindness and support you have given up though the years. We are very grateful for all of you ❤

We have a mother with a 5 year old boy who is needing Christmas. They unfortunately missed the deadline for Salvation Army sign up. If you would like to help with gifts feel free to message us. While the Mom did not ask for anything for herself maybe someone would like to gift a grocery or gas gift card for the mother. Please message us if you are interested.

Here is a list of items the boy likes, and his clothing size.

He could really use some snow boots size 1.

He loves anything with dinosaurs.

legos or anything to build.

Size 5t clothing.

Any kind of learning things books or puzzles. I would appreciate any help. Thank you so much.

The family could also use Christmas dinner meal.
