Community Service has donated over three dozen blankets to the Salvation Nursing home. Their residents are so grateful for the beautiful handmade crocheted blankets. It warms their hearts as well as their bodies.
The University Hospital of Newark continues to request our Ouch Babies. Their littlest patients can cuddle with them as well as communicate their needs when they can’t verbalize them.
The Safe Center looks forward to our donations of blankets, toiletries, hats, and scarves. Starting in April, MWI Community Service is going to partner with neighborhood organizations in order to help supply bags of cheer to Homebound seniors. Phyllis Biernick and Marcia Steele will collect hair accessories, toothbrushes, toothpaste, shaving cream, and all types of blank greeting cards as well as any two-year calendars (not one year; the year will be almost over).
Starting in May, we will begin to collect all gently used or new shoes. Further information to follow.
Island Harvest is still looking for volunteers. Let us know if you are interested.
Stay safe! Phyllis Biernick and Marcia Steele
