AAUW  CHARITY

We have chosen St. Matthias Church as one of our charities. St. Matthias has a great program for the homeless. Monday through Friday at 3:00 PM, they serve a hot meal to anyone in need.  So many would otherwise go hungry, if it were not for this program.  They have a post office where the homeless can pick up their mail, and nearly 200 people use this service. They give out food, hygiene items, quarters to do laundry, bus tokens, clothing, and much more.

We hope you will all join us in helping St. Matthias to help the homeless.

ITEMS NEEDED: Bus tokens – quarters –  food – socks – hats (summer sun or baseball caps/winter warm caps – underwear–hand sanitizer gel (small 1 oz. size) – bars of soap (they cut into fourths) – empty medicine bottles (labels removed) for shampoo – large bottles of shampoo, and clean used street clothing.  Nonperishable food is also needed for the Soup Hour.

Please remember to bring your donations to our monthly Branch meetings, or contact Sharon Heck to arrange a pick up.  562-698-0476 – Heck37@verizon.net
