Your donations make a difference!
You never know how a simple gesture can positively impact someone!
During the first week of July, LEFSA received a donation of a few bags of men’s shirt and shoes.
All of the shirts that came in were brand-new but in large sizes. As we unpacked the bags, team member Mario Pimentel immediately thought about a man who attends one of the groups in the shelter, who was in need of some clothing in that size. All of the shirts were in great condition, and after a Thursday group, the two of them came to the office to look at the donation. The shirts fit perfectly! From then on you could see a positive change in this person.
Two weeks later we also received a big package of little bars of Neutrogena soaps.
Clothing, socks, and toiletries are important. They can really impact someone’s feelings of dignity and self-esteem in a situation where everything is scary and overwhelming. A pair of socks and a few bars of soap go a long way to make someone’s day.
LEFSA is still conducting toiletry and sock drives.
