Items we need

Books needed!

Many of you are looking for ways to help our neighbors during this unprecedented time.  While we must be socially distant, we are eagerly anticipating days together again.

We are working with our community partners to provide books to children through their meal distribution efforts and anticipate our blood inventory will be depleted shortly.

While home, if you could please put aside any children’s books, we can coordinate conditions once the COVID-19 restrictions are lifted.

Thank you for thinking of those in need during this difficult time.
