Quote of the Day...........

"Practicing an attitude of gratitude spills over to acts of generosity". 

Thank you to everyone who donated towels for "Make a Difference Day".  YOU made a difference!!!

Happy Fall ya'all....

Annual Towel Drive Going on Now......Please Donate!!!

Can you imagine taking a bath or shower and having nothing more than a wash rag or hand towel to dry off with?  Full-sized bath towels are something that a majority of us take for granted. But what if you didn't have any available??

Upon hearing of the need at the Emergency Support Shelter, Altrusa International of Cowlitz County "The Breakfast Bunch" decided to make a difference ONE TOWEL AT A TIME!

Your help is needed ... and this request is a HUGE one.  Please bring your donation of new or gently used bath towels, hand towels and wash clothes to any of the following locations listed below before October 23. If you have donations, but are unable to deliver them, please email us by clicking the link below and we will come and pick up your donation.

All donations will be presented to the Emergency Support Shelter on Saturday, October 24th by the "Breakfast Bunch".

Thanking you in advance for your generous donations!!!!
