An Opportunity To Give

You know all those extra items you purchase every week for free?  I have the perfect place for you to donate them! You have the opportunity to impact someone’s life, to help those in need.

One of my readers, Aprile, is helping collect items for an outreach program to be held on August 1, 2009 in Ripley, TN by Life Changing Christian Center.  Below are the specifics:

What: Donate food, toiletries, cleaning and school supplies (see a list of needs below)

When: Donations must be dropped off by Wednesday, July 29th

Where: Cool Springs YMCA – Franklin, TN

Additional Information: Lauderdale County has the 3^rd highest unemployment rate in the state and ¼ of the families live below poverty level.  They are truly in need.

I want to encourage all in the middle Tennessee area to participate.  Let’s see how much my readers can donate!!  I want you to overwhelm this community with love and care.
