As we approach the colder winter months, we are organizing a drive to help those in greatest need- particular our unhoused neighbors and those with housing, food, and job insecurity. Our month long drive will send donations to Open Doors which serves people with great needs in our community.

OpenDoors serves over 300 individuals daily through our emergency shelters and transitional housing programs. Many of the individuals and families they serve come with very little, and donations like these help them provide not only basic necessities but also a little comfort and dignity during difficult times. Here are some of the main items they're looking for:

• Warm clothes including:

  • winter coats

  • warm clothing for men, women, and children

  • hats, gloves, scarves

  • new undergarments (underwear, bras, socks, and thermal undergarments) for men, women, and children

• Warm protection

  • sleeping bags, tents, blankets, and body warmers

• Hygiene products

• Ready-to-eat nonperishable foods including

  • bottled water, coffee, tea, hot chocolate, creamer, and sugar (individual servings)

Thank you for your participation and community support!
