In addition, we want to make some contributions to the shelter that Rose Bryant work’s at. They deal with families that are down to their last penny. The following are items that the families cannot purchase with food stamps and they are in need of:

o All purpose cleanero Laundry detergento Clorox wipeso Dish Soapo Paper towelso Toilet Papero Bleacho We are also collecting clean - good clotheso Also this year - we are collecting school supplies. The kids are all starting

school the week we are down there and their is a shortage of supplies.

We are asking that every family bring at least one of EACH of these items. We do not expect you to buy them. This is an opportunity to go to family and neighbors and ask if they can contribute at least one of the items. This will also give you an opportunity to share of the things we desire to see God do in and through us. You will be surprised how many people WANT to help - especially given all the storms down there last year - and this is an easy way for them. Many are inexpensive items that you can find anywhere; however, that is not the case in Frenchburg, KY. Please keep your items limited to this list. These are the things that have been requested
