How about cleaning out your closet? Bet you have clothing that hasn’t been worn in years. Someone can use it, someone who is strugglin’. I have a suggestion for men’s clothing. Load them up and head to Southeastern Carolina Crossroads, 1086 Susie Sand Hill Road, Elizabethtown (in the state forest area) or drop them off at Bladen Baptist office in E-town, near the hospital. Crossroads phone numbers are 910-549-8487, or 910-588-4345. Yes, they can always use cash. They have 15 to 20 (?) short-term residents all the time and they welcome visitors. Maybe call ahead. Paper products are always needed. Some participants come with pretty much all they need, some come with all their belongs in a small paper or plastic bag.
I know, all over the board today, ‘shootin’ from the hip….typical for mid to late December, every year. Bet you could add to the list, so could I.
