Women and the elderly are the fastest growing homeless population demographic. Let’s help them by donating whatever we can now through Labor Day. What’s needed most at this time are the following: New or gently used: hats, sandals, sneakers, shorts and T-shirts for outdoor summertime wear. Reusable water bottles, insect repellent, sunscreen, electrolytes, towels, new undergarments (briefs), tampons. Other needed items can be found at the Grace Marketplace web site: tinyurl.com/iguana2533
Please drop off donations at Grace Marketplace, 3055 NE 28th Dr. (off of NE 39th Ave.) from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Call the shelter at 352-792-0800 for directions or more information. To arrange for pickup of donations, call Mary Savage at 352-870-2267. This drive is organized by Ceremonial Services for Lifecycle Events in Ocala.
