Food Drive - Women and Children Dispaced by Devastating Fire

Hello friends. I am organizing a food drive for the Downtown Toledo YWCA women's shelter that sustained major fire damage in August. Harris Fire and Water Cleaning Specialists and Cousino Construction, on behalf of the YWCA need your timely help. We anticipate rebuilding/restoration completion in December which makes this food drive very time sensitive.

If you or your employer would like a drop box and/or flyers please let me know and I can arrange quick delivery and pick-up. Our offices at 26901 Eckel Road, Perrysburg Oh 43551 (behind Ed Schmidt Pontiac) will be the main drop off.

Remember, many of the shelter's women are mothers making their children's breakfast and packing their lunches.

Some suggestions:

• Boxed potatoes
• Macaroni and cheese
• Soups
• Rice
• Dried pasta
• Canned fruits or vegetables
• Canned stews
• Canned chili
• Canned ravioli
• Canned spaghetti and meatballs
• Canned tuna
• Canned chicken

• Canned beans
• Canned spaghetti sauce

• Snack packs of pudding
• Snack packs of fruit
• Snack packs of applesauce
• Snack packs of crackers
• Snack packages of fruit chews

• Brown bags for packing lunches

• Oatmeal
• Granola bars
• Pancake mix

TOILETRIES

Please remember, nothing in glass. I thank you in advance and look forward to "restocking the cupboards" for these unfortunate and grateful women.
