Due to some gen­er­ous donors last year we have plen­ty of cash to pur­chase items on the list but we still need peo­ple to donate actu­al items on the list if you can. The dead­line is December 13 and please reach out to Bev (bevzilla@yahoo.com) to let us know what you pur­chased so we can lim­it dupli­ca­tion.

Time to Adopt-A-Family

For the third year, SHoWLE is par­tic­i­pat­ing in the Holiday Adopt-A-Family pro­gram through Lucas County Children’s Services. This year we have two small chil­dren, one 3 years old and one 18 months old and they have a care­giv­er that we would like to get a gift or two for as well. For those who want to help but don’t want to buy some­thing you can donate cash to SHoWLE and we will use it to buy gifts and oth­er need­ed items for the fam­i­ly. Just send us a check or mon­ey order or you can use our donate page on the web­site — just note that the dona­tion is for the adopt-a-family. All dona­tions and cash con­tri­bu­tions should be giv­en to us by December 10, 2021.

This is the kind of activ­i­ty we would like to do year round as we get more mem­bers and some want to seri­ous­ly com­mit to help­ing the com­mu­ni­ty year round. While doing this dur­ing a reli­gious hol­i­day time is not ide­al, this is man­age­able enough for our small group to com­plete. During the pan­dem­ic last hol­i­day sea­son we were able to gift the fam­i­ly we had with quite an assort­ment of need­ed items.

We hope you can help out. Any ques­tions, please email Bev at bevzilla@yahoo.com
