Donations for the Homeless

We’re collecting items for the homeless. These items are for helping them until we can get them into housing. I’ve included some links on amazon to the products that I would recommend. You may ship directly to our address (3530 Belmar Dr, Des Moines, Iowa 50317) and we will hand the stuff out to the homeless. It’s becoming winter and they need several items:
