Helping Our Refugee Neighbors
Join us for a lunch gathering to collectforand assemble Welcome & Baby Baskets for newly-arrived refugees. We'll have yarn for knitters who want to make blankets! Contact Maryann O'Brien at maryannobrien88@comcast.net. LISTS OF ITEMS FOR WELCOME & BABY BASKETS The items are placed in a plastic storage bin (with lid) no bigger than 20 quarts (so clients can carry them on the bus).
