I just received the following request for donations and thought you all may want to help spread the word (knowing good well what great Samaritans you all are!)! When we help others, we also feel better our self! May we all feel GREAT by our contribution!
Hey, you'll also be going "green", by recycling those items!
Please pass the following information on.
This is an organization located in Olivette that provides health care equipment by redistributing donated items. They are having a donation drive on Sat, May 9Th from 9am-3pm. This link gives all the details. I would LOVE your help in publicizing this, and if the "God Squad" could mention it tomorrow, on Sunday, perhaps we could really get these needed items out of our closets and basements and into the hands of those who need them. Because of the economy, so many people have become uninsured or under insured and these items can really cost a lot.
They are especially looking for wheelchairs, bath chairs and bath aids, and anything for really large people.

The only things they definitely can't take are pressurized items such as oxygen canisters.
The closest collection site is Webster Groves City Hall and if your church or group could collect items and transport them there, that would probably increase donations.
This is a wonderful and much needed program and I would love to see it be a huge success.
There are, of course, opportunities for volunteers and community service hours. Currently they are unable to deliver equipment, so that would also be a way to help.
Thanks so much for your time. (from Nancy Price)
