HOPE Clinic provides compassionate care and practical help for those in need. Some of their services include a medical clinic, dental clinic, food pantry and baby closet. During the summer months, their shelves tend to get empty and they are in great need of donations from area churches and organizations.
To help with this, St. Mary Student Parish will collect food and personal care items this week (through Friday, Aug. 5). Donations could include:
Pasta and pasta sauce
Hearty soups
Canned tuna and chicken
Peanut butter and other nut and seed butters
Brown rice
Breakfast cereal
Spices and spice blends (low sodium)
Other items not available with food stamps include:
Toilet paper
Kleenex
Shampoo and conditioner
Lotion
Deodorant
Soap
Laundry detergent
Dish soap and other cleaning products
In addition, the dental clinic and medical clinic could use toothbrushes, toothpaste, dental floss, bandages and other small items, including glucometers with at least 50 unexpired strips.
Please drop off items in the baskets located in the church atrium (off Thompson Street). Volunteers will take the items to Hope Clinic on August 6.
For more information, please contact Lisa Hirsch.
