I am raising money and looking for donations for the Inter Parish Ministry and Clermont County Foster program.
I saw a story on the news last night saying there are 850 children in foster care now and only 200 foster families. These are desperate times and we need to help in anyway we can. The Clermont County Foster Program is looking to start a library. So I am looking for BOOKS! The CCFP needs books for children and teens available when they are waiting in the lobby, visiting their parents during supervised visits, etc as well as books on parenting that parents have had their children removed from them or are at risk of this could borrow.
The second is a place I found is Inter Parish Ministry in Newtown who is helping folks who have lost their jobs and can't afford anything. These individuals are referred by social workers and will receive toiletries, baby food, clothing, boxed/canned goods, etc. This is their critical needs: Canned Pasta in Sauce (ie. Ravioli), Peanut Butter (crunchy), Jelly (all flavors), Pasta & Spaghetti Sauce, Cereal (cold, all types), Shampoo / Conditioner, Deodorant, Toilet Paper/Paper Towels.
I am sure us coupon queens can get a lot for FREE!
Donations will be taken now until April 19. You can donate items personally April 19 at the Milford Quaker Steak and Lube from 12-4. I am part of "Wicked Women Racing" and we give back to the community everytime we get together.
