So... Christmas is fast upon us and here is a brief list of items that would come in very handy at the shelter. Please take a second and look at this list and see if there are any items you might consider purchasing for Samaritan House. Each and every thing donated will be put extraordinary use to help bless our residents.
Chap stick: this might seem like a trival and little thing, but having chapped lips and spending a lot of time outside is not a pleasurable experience.
Shampoo: this item allows people to feel clean and provides a little dignity for anyone who is self-conscious. We take things like this for granted but not everyone does.
Conditioner: We've all seen Billy Madison so we know a person cannot have shampoo without conditioner!
Male and female toiletries: just the basics can go such a long way to make people feel human and respectable.
Small gifts for men and women: while the focus of the holidays transcends material possessions, we would be honored and thankful for any gifts donated to our adult residents. Sometimes this time of year is the saddest for our residents, so having something to unwrap is a literal blessing.
Stuffed animals: a tangible item that can be touched and cuddled and whispered to. We never really outgrow the need for contact and stuffed animals for adults and kids can go a long way.
Toys for children: being a homeless child is an experience that is inexplicable unless you've lived it. Please consider blessing someone you've never met for no other reason than they deserve a good moment or two.
Nail polish: this is so much fun and our young and older ladies love being able to spend time together being girly!
Thanks so much for your time. Call the shelter at 257-5801 for any questions or specific inquiries.
