ATTENTION:

Dear Presidents,

I received a call from Sister Marlene Hansen, Humanitarian Service Room Director, letting me know the Meridian School District has a need for 100 fleece jackets for the upcoming Winter season. Last year the Humanitarian center made these jackets from fleece that was donated by a fabric store in Boise and they were able to fill that need without requesting any help from our area. This year, however, they will need to rely on donated fleece fabric. Please send this request on to your Ward Presidents and ask them to let sisters in their Ward know if anyone has fleece they could donate to please drop it by the Humanitarian Center, or the Deseret Industries drop-off locations. They will need to be sure to identify their donations of fleece are for the Humanitarian Center. The fleece does not have to be large pieces, as they will do mix and match with the smaller pieces. The zippers for the jackets are purchased with a monetary grant from the church. The cuffs are made from the fleece fabric, so no ribbing will be needed.

To give you a little background, the Meridian School District has identified over 300 homeless children who will be attending school this fall in their district alone. Many of them do not have jackets for the winter, so they rely on donations to make sure all students have something to keep them warm. They were so very excited last year with the service that was rendered by our Humanitarian Service Room. We hope to do the same for them this year. As a reminder, the Humanitarian Service Room is open Tues., Wed., and Thurs. from 10 - 2. Thank you in advance for your help in providing this need to school children in our area. It is so wonderful to see the church's Humanitarian Program at work. The Lord surely blesses those in need and those who provide for them. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me via e-mail or phone: 208-884-0523.

With Gratitude,

Elaine CluffMeridian South Stake Relief Society President
