Hello fellow Peorians and friends from all of central Illinois.
I wanted to update you on an event that I started a little over 3 weeks ago; Giving from the Heart
This is an ongoing event, every Sunday morning at 8:30am, we head downtown Peoria and take sack lunches, beverages and anything else someone without a place to live might need, ie. blankets, warm socks, warm clothing, any non-perishable food item that doesn't need cooked or opened with a can opener and doesn't require an eating utensil, and backpacks or tote bags.
This is a heartbreaking, yet heartwarming opportunity to do one little thing for those who don't have what we have.
This past Sunday was very special. Some of the people that I've been seeing are starting to talk to me. I even got 2 hugs. This meant a lot to me.
I hope you'll join us one of these Sundays.
There is also a need for this on Mon., Wed. and Thurs. evenings at 6pm. On those days, people who work, yet don't have a place to live, can't check in early enough to receive a dinner. Please let me know if you would be available and interested in helping on those evenings. gail.newtson@gmail.com
thanks to all of our wonderful President's supporters, we are making a difference one little step at a time.
