Tour of Raleigh Rescue Mission 10/02 Tue 6pm

In preparation for a possible service project with the Raleigh Rescue Mission, Bruce Storer has agreed to give us a tour on 10/02 Tue 6pm (314 E Hargett St). I asked if there was anything they needed at this time, and there was. Here is our exchange...
I think you're wise to take your time. Taking a tour as the 1st step will be of great value in that your small group will come away with a greater understanding of the problems of poverty, homelessness & addiction, and of the Mission's ministries. Our experience indicates that this usually helps individuals and groups make volunteer service choices that are more suitable & enjoyable for them.

We urgently need the following:

*Pull-ups
*Men's underwear (size 34-36)
*Men's polo style short sleeve shirts XL and up
*Twin sheet sets
*Shower shoes (men & women)
*Sugar
*Cooking oil

If your group would like to pass on those items, then "gently used" clothing, particularly fall & winter, would be fine.

I encourage you to consider bringing some of these items. Let's shower them with a little love!!

After the tour, we will be having a social time dinner together as a group at the Raleigh Times Bar (14 E. Hargett St.).

Please RSVP to Blain and let me know if you will be coming for the tour, dinner, or both.
