[Lekooks] Family Promise Host Week Update

[Gina Magnus]

Hello All,

Our current Family Promise family will be moving out of the apartment
tomorrow. So, as of this moment, we will not be hosting a family in the
apartment during our host week.....however.....we have been asked to supply
items needed by our families.  These items will be used by future guests
and by our alumni.  I am very happy to report that Family Promise has been
helping MORE families than ever before by way of preventing homelessness by
providing supplies and helping with rent, utilities, car repair bills,
etc...

Because we are not interacting with any guests, you do* not *need to be a
trained volunteer to help.

What is being asked of us:

1.  *Tomorrow afternoon, Friday March 19*, we are asked to clean the 2
bedroom apartment.  Cleaning supplies will be provided.  The apartment is
located across from Sam's Club in Waukesha.  If you can help me clean,
please contact me at 262-424-7640.  I am hoping for 2-3 additional
volunteers.  We can choose a time that works.  Please call ASAP.  Thank
you!

2.  *Next week,* we are being asked to supply:
            Lotion
            Dryer Sheets
            Hand sanitizer
            Gift cards for Target, Aldi, Pick N Save, Kwik Trip, etc...
            Cash donations are always welcome and will be used in the
prevention of homelessness (rent and utility assistance, auto repair, gas,
etc....)
All items should be of a size that you would purchase for your family, not
the mini size or mega sizes!!  Gift cards should be in amounts appropriate
for a family, $20 - $50.

I am currently working on a drop off site and timing for drop offs or pick
ups.  I will be in touch with you all again with the arrangements.

Your support of  Family Promise is very much appreciated.  These are such
trying times for everyone, imagine the challenges faced by this very
vulnerable population.

Thank you all and please watch for the update on the drop off
location/times.
