We are so grateful for the many groups who donated their time and talents, as well as their treasure, to our agency this holiday season.  For example, the stylists and makeup artists at Shine, Inc. have held a holiday makeover day at our safehouse every year since 2008.  All of the adult residents, and even some of the children, receive full pampering services, including hair cuts and/or style and makeup if desired, free of charge.

In addition to the participants in our Trade the Malls for Walls campaign mentioned in our December newsletter, we would also like to thank the following groups and individuals who made special gifts to us this December:  Katherine Gauntt, HCA Healthcare, The Ray of Sunshine Foundation, Gladys Cooke, Clarkston First Baptist Church, and Ray of Hope Christian Church.

Because our friends in the community were so generous this holiday season, WRC does not have the storage space to accept any more donations of used clothing or canned food at this time.  However, we invite you to view the wishlist on our website for items that we still need.  Some of those items include new underwear for women and children, pillows, blankets, new towel sets, paper products, batteries and flash drives.  Please call (404) 370-7670 to schedule your drop-off.
