Greetings!
We're a little late with our March news as we have been swimming in baskets, candy, baby supplies, and business suits. No complaints here! Additionally, THANK YOU to the following for your wonderful ideas - which were "right up our alley" and have gone over VERY well with our provideInc friends and donors:
- MARLEY REDD suggested Beanie Babies and stuffed animals, over 100 of which we have included in Easter Baskets for 70x7 Ministries.
- MICHELLE MORAN suggested the donation of professional clothing. We have collected enough to send two large boxes each to Jackets for Jobs in Detroit and The Bridge to Success in Chicago.
- HOWARD AND SUZANNE PANN suggested that we request wish list items for New Hope Foundation in China. The bottles, clothing, and other baby and toddler supplies have been coming in steadily. More info below...
We are always open to suggestions and we appreciate your great ideas!
Sincerely, Lori Naseef
provideInc Director
