Vintage Truck Show – Hotdog Stand

Written by admin on . Posted in Bulletin Board.

The Vintage Truck Show was a huge success, we made $775 from our hotdog stand for our Kids Closet and brought back a van full of food for the Ashland County Food Bank too! We have to thank the Vintage Truck Show organization and the Ashland County Fair for allowing us to set up our hotdog stand again this year and to the Brethren Care Village for donating the hotdogs and water. We also want to thank our wonderful volunteers, Josh, Addison, Fred, Linda and Rick – great job!! And finally to our hungry donors that have shown their support for the little ones in our county! Thank you!

Shoes

Written by admin on . Posted in Clothe.

Note about our “Kids Closet”: one of our school liaisons came in last month needing a pair of shoes for a little one. The only thing holding their shoes together was tape. Imagine the look on their face when they put on that new pair of shoes. Once again we want to thank all the caring and compassionate donors that help stock our Kids Closet. Without your support, none of this would be possible. Thank you!!

Thank you Jake, TJ and Josh from AU’s Tau-Kappa-Epsilon. This amazing group had a food drive at AU and were able to get over $1,700 worth of food and taxables for the Ashland County Food Bank. We received Tide detergent, toilet paper, paper towels, egg noodles, cereal, ketchup, mustard, canned tuna and chicken. Great job!!

You Can Make A Difference

Written by admin on . Posted in Bulletin Board.

Your donation, no matter the size, makes a difference in ways that are sometimes completely unexpected. An older lady and her husband came in for food the other week and she mentioned she loved to color. Since we had books we got her a couple and a new box of crayons. She came in last week for Easter food and related to me that she had cried when she got home the week before with her food – she was so grateful for not only the bag of food, but the coloring books and box of crayons. This lady was thankful for everything! To all our donors and supporters – please know that YOU make a difference – sometimes just one box of crayons/coloring book or one bag of food at a time! Thank you!

Clothing Donation

Written by admin on . Posted in Clothe.

We are so grateful for the support we have received for our “Kids Closet” from the community. One of our regular supporters just dropped off jeans, tops, sweaters, pajamas and a robe for our local children. Would love to see their little faces when they put on that new Star Wars shirt or that soft Frozen robe. To our friend that dropped off this fabulous donation today – Thank You!
