I am excited to share the results of all your incredible giving during the month of love, otherwise known as February and apparently March too! As you know I put forth four different ways that you could support seniors and children during February. Well, let me tell you, I am in awe of all the donations that arrived at our door, the friends that showed up with donations in hand, and for the many wonderful people that gave to purchase these important essentials.
So with no further ado, here is what you made possible...
I asked for help with providing 380 children, with 4 new books each in their birthday boxes for a total of 1,520 books.
You donated books and financial gifts to provide 405 children with 1,618 books! You made it possible for children to have their own books to read whenever their little hearts desire.
One of our biggest asks from seniors and families is for paper products.
You spared so much more than a square when you gave toilet paper, paper towels, tissues and napkins. In fact with the donations and money donated we will be able to purchase and provide over 1,860 rolls of toilet paper, 475 rolls of paper towels and 62 tissues and napkins to families and seniors.
Every one needs to bathe and we really needed body wash, shampoo and conditioner to keep bath time going strong.
Well let me tell you, there will be lots of clean kiddos, moms, dads and seniors because you gave enough to provide 2,084 bottles of these essential items. We were even able to order 360 packages of feminine products for women and girls, another item in great need.
I asked for help with matching seniors with Secret Pals who could provide a monthly gift card.
We had two wonderful people become secret pals to three seniors in the program. This is now three more seniors feeling the LOVE and support just like Susan feels.
I am thrilled, humbled, and thankful for all that you gave to help so many. You truly are spreading love and kindness into the lives of seniors, children and their families through your amazing support.
Yours in Love and Service,
Kristin Senne
Executive Director
