WOW –There are so many great things happening with The $10/20 Project but here is a quick run-down:

• We are officially a 501(c)(3) which means you will receive a tax-receipt for your donation.
• Our comfort (hygiene) kits have been well received.  We have received positive feedback and will continue to provide these kits and bottled water to those in need.
• We had our first board meeting meeting last night.  Our board members are excited about how people can take a small donation and make a big difference.  A special thanks to Ricky, our homeless friend.  He has agreed to serve on our board as a homeless liaison.
• We have a new website in development and we can’t wait to share it with you.  Hopefully we’ll be ready in the next couple of weeks.

Here is what we need:

• Toiletries for our comfort kits.  We need small bottles of shampoo, conditioner, soap, deodorant, small boxes of laundry detergent, and small tubes of toothpaste.  We are also collecting small cosmetic bags–the kind you receive as part of the “free gift.”  We are using these to make up comfort kits for women and children.
• Cash donations.  Cash donations will be used to purchase small combs, bug repellent, bottled water, wash-clothes, feminine products and items to finish out comfort kits.

Stay tuned…I’ll keep everyone posted.
