It’s time to clean out our closets to help our neighbors. Do you have something you could donate that someone could use if they were living in their car?

This doesn’t have to cost a cent.

Do you have a blanket in your house you no longer use? Or some of those hotel mini hygiene items tucked away that you now think was a mistake to bring home?

These are things I’m looking to collect:

• **Can openers**

• Personal hygiene items, especially disposable diapers (for all ages), feminine products, toothpaste and toothbrushes, shampoo, conditioner, body wash, etc., etc. • Clothing: Coats and socks for all ages and both genders. (clean and washed. excluding summer items, torn or damaged clothing)

• Athletic Shoes and Boots (We CANNOT accept heels/sandals)

• MENS CLOTHES, there is an especially high need for men’s clothes.

• Blankets/Sleeping Bags, Towels, & Sheets (Clean only please)

A collection box will be available through the end of the month at The new Geek Out Café. www.geekoutcafe.com

If you would prefer to skip spring cleaning and donate cash directly online, they will gladly accept that too! https://app.etapestry.com/onlineforms/JeffcoActionCenter/makeagift.html https://theactioncenter.org/

I’m hosting this drive in our Westgate and Southern Gables neighborhoods to amplify the awesome work being done by our own South Lakewood Business Association. Thank you Gordon for the inspiration! https://slba-co.org/
