Along with our committee and the generosity of MWI women, Community Service was able to support several organizations in our community that were hard hit during the pandemic, and were in desperate need of school supplies, personal supplies, gloves, hats, scarves, blankets and food.
We donated to Soup to Nuts and the Safe Center. We gave personal care items and unused makeup to runaway teens through the Family and Children Association (FCA,) as well as helping them with clerical work durng the pandemic while they were struggling with staff shortages.
We were able to send cartons of needed cleaning supplies to the FCA who housed runaways, and crocheted blankets, hats and scarves to area nursing homes, the VA, Bethany House and Safe Center.
Thanks to your support, we gave over 2 carloads of food to the Bellmore Merrick Food Cupboard. The Cupboard supports over 40 families who are suffering from food insecurity. Our Ouch Babies dolls were donated to Child Protective Services, Sage Center, and Family and Children's Association.
With your help we will continue to identify places that need our assistance. Please share your ideas and time with Marcia and me. Keep bringing new toiletries, nonperishable foods and unused makeup to events, or call me or Marcia and we will pick it up.
Have a safe and healthy summer.
