This Sunday, December 8, is the last day the church will be collecting backpacks for the guests of the Daily Bread Soup Kitchen. These men and women really appreciate the packs, since they are often the only gifts they receive during the holidays.

Some suggested items to include are gloves, hats, scarves, socks, sweatshirts, tee shirts, long underwear, deodorant, hand lotion, toothpaste, toothbrushes, shampoo, shaving cream, hand warmers, cough drops, candy, gum, wrapped snack items, books, decks of cards, and small fleece blankets. All items should be new. Please do not include money or lottery cards. All backpacks should be labelled with the gender and size of recipient from small to 3X.

Thank you for helping with this project! Backpacks will be given away at the soup kitchen on December 13.

If you have questions about this project contact one of these Daily Bread Soup Kitchen workers: Sandy and Joe Finnerty, Sandy Hannum, Marilyn Ryan, or Mary Kay Solecki.
