Cold water, good food, gift cards and cash at Loads of Change

 

Dennis Deitch happily gave one of our unhoused clients, Kelly, $100 in a Christmas card - a gift from an anonymous donor.

We ended the Loads of Change year with gifts, gift cards, sandwiches and holiday cookies, water and more! Yesterday Poulsbo Lions spent $673.25 ($272.25 in donations) helping 40 people with 139 loads in the washers (54 small, 17 medium, and 17 large), and 112 in dryers.
A very special thanks to Lions Ray and Ria McMahon, Terry Blais, Dennis Tesch, Lee Metcalf and Dennis Deitch.
We handed out hand warmers, socks, backpacks, sleeping bags, sweatpants, jackets, toilet paper and toiletries. Thanks to those who donated items, as well as those who brought us quarters!
Merry Christmas to all!
 

 
Another $100 winner! It may be a good month after all.
