Colder Weather Needs

The weather has gotten much colder and as a result, our homeless friends have a new set of needs. Please consider helping out by donating these things

1. A Coleman Sportcat 1500 btu tent heater. That's right, they actually make heaters for tents and several of these were given out last winter. We know these heaters saved lives last year. Here is what they look like:

I found them at amazon.com for $45. I did not see them at Dick's or Sports Authority. If anyone finds a local place, please let us know.

2. Propane tanks - This was a close second to socks. When we did deliveries in the winter, everyone asked if we had any propane tanks. We will need a ton of these this year. They can be bought at Walmart and several other places. They look like this:

3. Socks, work boots, coats, gloves, hats -- All the typical warm weather stuff is needed.

4. Tents, sleeping bags and blankets -- see previous posts for examples of tents and sleeping bags.

As usual, if you get any of these items, just drop them off in the foyer the next time you are at church. If you purchased an item and want the purchase price to be put on your contribution records, make sure I get the receipt with your name and what item you bought.
