The Women’s Hearth is a one-of-a-kind downtown day center for women providing community, activities, classes, social service referrals, and housing-search case management in a compassionate and supportive environment seven days a week. Participants also have access to phones, computers, internet, healthy food, hygiene supplies, free showers, and a respite room. Program Director Susan Tyler-Babkirk said that they are focusing on gathering supplies for folks who are camping out. You can help by donating the following:

• Activity books (adult coloring, crosswords, Sudoku, word search)
• Antibacterial ointment
• Bus passes (2-hour)
• Chapstick
• Colored pencils/markers
• Cough drops
• Deodorant
• Gloves
• Hairbrushes
• Hand and foot warmers

The best time to drop off items would be during office hours, Monday-Thursday, 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. or on Sunday mornings. There is a box in the foyer. Thank you!
