IHN REPORT

When Bethlehem helped the homeless IHN families in early January, 66 volunteers logged in over 380 hours. Thank you all for your assistance! Bethlehem hosts again the week of May 16-May 23. We look forward to working with you in helping homeless families get back on their feet. Thank you to all who have volunteered your time to the IHN program.

    LSS NEEDS

    Lutheran Social Services is a non-profit organization that works with all affiliations in a five county area. We have many programs working with individuals or families in crisis. Some of our programs include:
  • Hope Housing – works with homeless and clients with mental illness
  • Youth Programs – works with at-risk and homeless youth ages 16-21.
  • Energy Assistance –works with low income and no income families in Crow Wing County.

    We have found it is a great hardship for individuals in crisis to purchase items most us take for granted; cleaning supplies, personal hygiene items, laundry supplies and kitchen items. Yet, it is an important need.

    You can help by donating these items:

  • Care-Kits: Shampoo, conditioner, deodorant, toothpaste, brush & comb, pads/tampons, bar soap, wash cloth, hand towel
  • Laundry Kits: Laundry basket, 1gallon size laundry soap, bleach, spray & wash, dryer sheets, 1 roll of quarters
  • Cleaning Supplies: Bucket, sponge, toilet cleaner, all-purpose cleaner, glass cleaner, rags/dish cloth, toilet paper, paper towels, air-disinfectant spray, dish soap
  • Baby Kits (baby items only): lotion, wash, wipes, shampoo, wash cloths, q-tips, powder, bar soap, rash cream, new born blanket sleeper, new born disposable diapers.

    COMMON GOODS
    Current Volunteer Opportunities: We are looking for volunteers to pick up donations from donors who have large items or who are unable to transport their items. Tentative pick-up days: Tuesday evenings between 4pm and 6pm and Saturday mornings 10am to 12noon. Volunteer-drivers needed. Flexible shifts and dates available! Many other volunteer opportunities available; call for details! Current Donation Opportunities:
  • Plastic pant hangers
  • Plastic skirt hangers
  • Gift bags
  • We are also currently accepting donations of fall and winter clothing, housewares, furniture, jewelry, books, musical instruments, and yarn.

    Please contact Suzanne or Jenny at 824-0923 for more information or with questions.
