Could you donate NEW underwear to people who don't have any? We'll split up big packages. A variety of styles and sizes is GREAT! What looks of relief and gratitude you get when someone needs such a basic thing as un**es and you have some ready to give.

Temp had just dropped. On his way to a job interview, he only had shorts. We just happened to have some pants and shoes in just his size.

"Have you eaten today?" He hadn't.

We're not really a food pantry or a clothing closet, but he needed ALL the resources: a food list so he knew where to get supper, , a temp agency list in case the job interview didn't pan out, housing lists, personal care items, and some substantial snacks.

He took notes on other resources and left with more than he'd expected, along with some new hope.

Fresh Out Friday! Toothpaste for neighbors in need may be gone by the time this posts. Lotion is running low too.

Imagine being out. Can you help? People are most grateful, and often express it superlatively.

65% of Linn County neighbors we've helped this year with rent, utilities, auto gas, or IDs have had a medical issue complicating their finances. Many of our neighbors are struggling to meet their own most basic needs.

Join us with a tax exemptible gift that helps our most vulnerable neighbors. Please go to ecc-cr.net to make your donation, or send a check to our Helping Hands Ministry, 601 2nd Ave SE, CR 52401.

At our Helping Hands Ministry, job and staffing lists are almost as popular as our food list. We share community resources with our Linn County neighbors.

Do you have extra hoodies? We can give clean hoodies to people who need them. Let your friends and neighbors know too.

Please bring clean warm things to 601 2nd Ave SE M-F 10-4. Call 319-366-2651 with any questions.

IDs are essential, and you can help! When we issue vouchers to pay for replacement IDs, people get temporary paper IDs that sometimes get wet or torn. Waterproof ID holders are available in bulk from larger ordering houses for around 15 or 20 cents each. People can keep other important cards in them too!

We are running out of shampoo, toothpaste, conditioner, body wash and bar soap, and laundry and dish soap, to give to our low income neighbors who have run out. We do still have a little deodorant and some razors.

Help us get the word out! Bring them by 601 2nd Ave SE, CR, or call 319-366-2651 for more or more current info.
