Donations out – basic needs met for local community due to economy URGENT NEEDS!

Donations out have been especially heavy in the last 7 days.  The Ozarks is a poor area even in good times but with the economic slump the entire country is in, the area has even greater needs.

Relief Share responded with large donations to local organizations, a church, and agencies of:

- food
- clothing – men, women’s and children – a huge donation of thousands of infant and toddler clothing, shoes and accessories was given
- bedding
- books, videos and media materials
- toys
- sewing and craft supplies such as fabric, yarn, thread, needles, elastic, lace, etc
- household items such as dishes, utensils, home decor, storage and organizations supplies
- office supplies and equipment
- electronics equipment
- baskets, home decor, knick nacks, figurines, and other items to gladden the heart of those who have suffered the loss of their home and possession because of a devastating house fire.
- homeschooling supplies such as books, binders, pencils, crayons, rulers, folders, stickers, stamps, etc
- 16 twin size blankets for the needy
- burial items for infant death – books, burial clothing and blankets and memorial items.

We donated two large truckloads of items to the sick and needy with many more items that what has been listed above.  We are now concentrating on the twin size quilts, hospital gowns, diaper covers and other items needed by hospitals for the children receiving care at their facilities.

Our inventory room is looking really bare now.  We are excited that we were able to help with such urgent needs at this time.  We’ll need help refilling the shelves so we will be able to further assist with requests for assistance.  If you want to clean out your home and closets for a good cause and ship them to us to distribute to the poor, sick and needy – now is a good time to do that

Donations of new or gently used items of all kinds are gratefully accepted.  Urgent needs are sewing, quilting, knitting, tatting, smocking and crafting supplies for current projects for the hospital.  In particular kids print fabric, flannel, thread, quilting tools and supplies and yarn is needed.  Toys, books, and movies for distraction therapy for children in the hospital is very much needed as well.
