Specific needs

If you can provide and deliver one or more complete care packages for specific families that would be a great help.

There is an extreme labor shortage in the area and there just are no hands available for sorting through organizing and packaging random donations.

If you see a need you can fulfill, please contact the organization for delivery details.

Thanks!
