One man we helped cried, after he had walked in the rain to us wearing a thin jacket that was soaking wet, when he found a new leather jacket for himself. All that we give is at no cost.
Because Clearlake is a giving and caring community, we continue to receive donations of clothing for all ages, blankets, other clothing and household items, and stuffed animals for the children. What a wonderful blessing in my life to be a part of what is happening in Clearlake! Thanking everyone for your help for those among us who are experiencing poverty and hunger as well as experiencing homelessness as my sweet children and I did.
It means everything to me to help the little children – to see them leave smiling. Please feel free to leave your donations at church – we especially need more stuffed animals for Christmas!
