Lakeland Baptist Church in Carbondale, just started up a new ministry to Carbondale High School that functions a lot like the Gum Drops ministry in Carterville.  There are over 100 homeless students at CHS. (By homeless, we mean the kids who do not know where they will be sleeping that night–their car, a friend or relative’s house, a juvenile detention center, etc.)

They will be filling back packs & taking them to the students each Friday.

Here are items they are in need of:

School supplies needed:
Notebooks
Paper
Binders
Folders
Pencils
Pens
Calculators

Toiletries needed (accepting full size, sample size & hotel size):
Deodorants
Soaps
Shampoos
Toothbrushes
Toothpaste
Combs/brushes

It would be great if local couponers could lend a hand.  If you have any or all of these items on hand and would like to make a donation please email me at farnama@gmail.com and I can get you in contact with a representative of the Church to set up a meeting/drop off.

If you could make a donation between now and the 26th that would be wonderful as they are just staring to get things rolling and would like to start supplying these kids asap.

If you would like to make a donation but cannot do it until after the 26th, email me and I can help you to get a drop off date set up.
