Home Life Department is collecting small personal size toiletries

The Home Life Department is collecting small personal size toiletries for Christmas Gift Bags to be given to the women in the Salvation Army Shelter. This shelter for women and children holds 40 people and the average stay is 3 months. While there the women are helped in finding jobs and saving money, they attend classes in leadership and self-esteem, and a clothes closet is available to them when they go job hunting.

A few suggestions for the Gift Bags are small size deodorants, toothpaste, toothbrushes, soaps, shampoo, combs, perfume, small individual packages of Kleenex, make-up that has not been used, and jewelry that you no longer wear.

These women have experienced emotional and/or physical abuse. We would like them to know that the Cocoa Beach Woman’s Club is wishing them well as they work towards a better life. Please help us fill these Gift Bags. Bring your donations to the December 3rd meeting where we will have a special table for them.
