Please read what is needed carefully - THANKS!

Here is what is needed:

We will let you know what times we will be collecting on Saturday as well - stay tuned. Thanks all - if you want to come by and sit for an hour, we will also welcome that!

ALSO - Volunteers are needed at both locations - mostly in the evenings. If you can make it over there starting at around 6-8 PM, that is when they need the most help.
