Homeless Solutions in Morristown provides shelter, services, and housing to the homeless and the working poor by helping their guest rebuild their lives until they can once again live independently.  Four of the children, served by Homeless Solutions, have been given full scholarships to the Frost Valley YMCA Camp this summer, but their parents cannot afford the basic equipment they need to take with them.  Our own Fenn Putman is the Chairman of the Board of Frost Valley. So our Mission Outreach Commission thought it would be particularly appropriate to support the cause and did so by sending a check to cover the cost of the required items.  We are hoping to enhance the children's experience by seeking your contributions for "extras" to send with them to camp.  Suggested items* are:  

• Hair brushes/combs
• Hair bands
• Flashlights/batteries
• Stationery and Stamps
• Deodorant
• Sun screen
• Refillable Water bottles
• Bug Spray
• Lip Balm
• Blank journals
• Cards
• Pens 

*Please note that shampoo, toothpaste, and soap are NOT needed. 

Contributions can be placed in the laundry basket at the front entrance hallway.
