DIAPERS, PULL-UPS, AND BED SHEETS NEEDED BY FAMILIES IN THE KENSINGTON FAMILY SHELTER

Diapers are urgently needed at The Kensington Family Shelter in sizes 3, 4, 5, and 6 and pull-ups in sizes 2T, 3T, 4T, and 5T. In addition, families that are moving out of the shelter and into more permanent housing need new sheets for children's and toddlers' beds.

The diapers, pull-ups, and sheets can be brought to the shelter at 385 McDonald Avenue, between Albemarle Road and Church Avenue, in Kensington (across from Foodtown) or mailed to Uniquia Parker, The Kensington, 385 McDonald Avenue, Brooklyn NY 11218.

In addition to donating diapers as individuals, people can also join forces with others by organizing diaper drives in schools, parent groups, faith organizations, neighborhood associations, etc.

At the moment, the families don't need donations of clothing, books, used toys, or household items.

Two KWT residents--Catherine and Tracy--created and maintain a mailing list to let people know what the shelter's families need (clothing, toys, school supplies, toiletries, etc.) and to announce volunteer opportunities to assist with celebrating holidays and other events. To join the mailing list and receive approximately one e-mail a month, send an e-mail to Catherine and Tracy at givemeshelterBK@gmail.com.
