It's Back On Their Feet Friday with Lost & Found Recovery Center.

We're putting out a call to cross some items off our needs lists. These vital items go right to our patients at our residential units around the area. Towels, coats, and personal care products make a big difference for someone getting back on their feet.

All it takes is a minute to make a positive impact in the life of someone else. Simply visit the link in the comments, purchase an item, and it will ship directly to us.

You can check out more wishlists on our website under 'Donate'.
