Outreach this month will be at Mom's Time Out on March 26th!!! We are focusing on "new" items. The Montgomery county women's shelter is always in need of "new starter" items to get families going. Examples: socks, underwear, bras, bath items- soap, deo, shampoo,(children and adult), New bath towels, kitchen items: some examples (dish towels, dishes, silverware, cups, cook wear, pitchers), Linens, laundry basket, Basically necessities to get them setup to start a new life. Of course donated items will always be accepted, a few mentioned you had some decor etc. We will be collecting these items at moms time out, get with me specifically if you need to make other arrangements. Thank you!!

Also, Keep in mind that Nursery Appreciation is also on March 26th! If you signed up for a dish you will be hearing from our hospitality ladies shortly!
