7hills Donations Update

Thanks to your generous donations, Dallas Arceneaux was able to drop off another 250 powdered hydration packets to 7hills this past week!

With summer winding down, they have requested that we pivot back to collecting canned soups and chilis. These are in such high demand during the winter months that they like to get a stockpile before colder weather arrives. They also asked for new men’s and women’s underwear in sizes small & medium.

You may leave donations in the black rolling cart that is just to the left when you enter into the lobby. THANK YOU!
