A family friend recently brought The Wales Community Group to my attention.
"...many of our 63 residents are older people, with physical or mental
disabilities. Each has been or could easily become homeless. These are people who are
struggling to maintain the dignity and life this home provides them." - Glenda
It’s a community living program in which clients live in apartments or community homes that are for persons not yet ready to live in the community independently. These homes provide a transition for people recently leaving a psychiatric facility or for persons who need intensive structure on a temporary basis. The goal is to promote a self-sufficient and satisfying life.
Glenda is throwing these clients a Halloween Lunch Party on Halloween and I am participating with my family and friends, but there are some needs that I'm hoping Ivie associates can help with.
There are 61 clients now: 31 men & 30 women…here is a list of things Glenda has mentioned she wanted to give to help the clients at the Halloween Party:
- Walmart or Target gift cards
- 4 oz bars of soap
- Toothpaste (They have plenty of toothbrushes presently)
- Shampoo (full size)
- Hair products for black clients’
- Feminine hygiene products
- Socks for men or women
- Umbrellas- (Bus stops are hard to get to in the rain)
- Paper towels
- Bingo Prizes
If you can contribute please email or call me. I need all donations by Friday, October 30th.
Thank you,
