Huge Donation happening tomorrow!!! And Diaper Drive Kick Off!

hi all.

after meeting with the children's coordinators from Shelter Network last week, we scheduled tomorrow to be the day that all of our large items will be donated to them. in addition, each shelter will be receiving approx 300 items of back to school clothing.

this will be the largest donation that Project Warm Hug has made in one day!!! i will tally the numbers and report back with the totals!

***********
we have received so many coats, jackets and sweatshirts from our lost and found collections, that we are going to donate these for our back to school fall coat drive, and shift to a diaper drive. each of the shelters we donate to, always have a need for diapers.

so one of the times you buy diapers this next month, please pick up an extra pack of diapers to donate. we will have a number of drop off locations for you as well as our office donation drop off. please ask your friends to donate a pack as well!

we hope to have 5000 diapers donated and $5000 raised for our holiday programs.

thanks so much.

Welcome to Project Warm Hug's Blog.

hi

welcome to project warm hug's blog. we are growing so fast that i thought this would be a good way for everyone to have the lastest updates, succeess and needs.

i sent out the august newsletter last night. if you didn't receive it and would like to, please email me and let me know. mrosenhart@yahoo.com.

our website at www.projectwarmhug.com will also have our current newsletter posted.

so the big news is that we hit over 6300 items donated last week within 5 months.

i met with the children's coordinators of shelter network and we have created a system so that they can communicate their needs to us on a weekly basis. in turn we will pull from our inventory and donate to them within 7 days. i see this as an honor to be so closely connected to this organization.

bad news, is that i saw my doctor last week, and the dr. who removed my cast and told me to get walking... had me walking way too soon, and my foot is now needing another few weeks to heal. i told him i would do my best to stay off of it... otherwise he is going to put me back in a cast for a fw weeks...

so if anyone has a teen who needs some community service hours... i can use some help, moving donations, sorting donations, and so on... an hour or two can really help!!!

i plan on writing here every couple of days as new information unravels...

hope you stay tuned!
