The Interfaith Alliance of Champaign-Urbana will celebrate a community Thanksgiving with a Sunday, November 22 “Garlands of Gratitude Gathering.” While expressions of gratitude can be shared, there is also the opportunity to share in a tangible way with needed items for C-U at Home, the location for those without a permanent address. Please consider donating the following items:

Pre-packaged snacks (pretzels, multigrain bars, etc.), warm hats, gloves, and socks for both men and women, bottled water/Gatorade, toiletry items, toilet paper, paper towels, sanitizing wipes, blankets, and $5 gift cards. A great need is for warm winter clothing like shirts, sweatshirts, and coats. Thank about what you might need if you had no permanent place to call Pome, but had at least a bed for the night at C-U at Home.

We will be sharing these collected items and they will be taken to C-U at Home. You may also check with C-U at Home, www.cuathome.us, 217-819-4569, P. O. Box 8816, Champaign, IL 61826 if you think there are other items which might be of use. Thank you for your generosity and care for our C-U neighbors.
