Friends of the Homeless Supply Drive is a Success

February 27, 2023

Thank you to everyone who contributed donations to the Friends of the Homeless Shelter supply drive this month. Together, the firm collected an impressive number of toiletries and other essentials, including deodorant, toothbrushes and toothpaste, bars of soap, hand warmers, socks, shampoo, tissues, and more.


Team leaders Chelsea and Karen were challenged to locate warm winter items on the shelves of local retail stores, but eventually succeeded! Monetary donations from the employees at MBK allowed them to purchase over 100 disposable hand/toe warmers, 18 winter hats, 9 sets of warm winter gloves/mittens, and 15 travel-size refillable bottles that can be used for shampoo, conditioner, or other liquid soap.


The staff at FOH were blown away with our donations (or perhaps that was the wind) when they dropped off the haul of boxes and bags. The blustery weather this week is a clear reminder that winter is not over yet. It is certain that the guests at FOH will still need these cold weather items in the weeks to come.
