My mom sells Orthopedic shoes and has two locations, Forest lakes which is the main location that also provides Mobility supplies, and the Second is in Minneapolis and she works side by side with an man that has connections to the homeless and poor, his office his in her building/ department, and they reach out to the homeless and provide necessities and do Gods work!!! this Holiday season over thanksgiving week they are having a clothing give away and are looking for donations of: Winter Boots, Hats and gloves, Jackets and other clothing items. There will be lots of volunteers and we are in need of Donations. I'm able to come and collect the items, we are looking for good condition clothes and warm, many of these families don't have winter ANYTHING and this is our Christmas wish. The families will be coming into the office building and a bag will be given to them and they will be able to walk through and find what fits them! I'm the lead role in this and I'm reaching out to Other moms in hopes you are able to donate! we are looking for sizes. Youth - adult any thing between those. There are many High school students and adults! we want to make them feel loved and show them God is true and he provides for those in need. Every Christmas I don't ask for anything but I receive gifts any ways. I want this to be a Christmas that I'm able to GIVE GIVE GIVE to the people that can never ask for anything because of money, we are lucky enough to have a home and a family and jobs!!!! LETS MAKE THIS A CHRISTMAS TO REMEMBER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

But if we wanted to drop off, would it be in either Forest Lake or Minneapolis?

We are still discussing the Exact day, might be on Thanksgiving or the day before! and we want to collect the items before hand with in the next week or so would be great!!!! I'm not sure on the exact address just that it's off of Franklyn! but we want to go through the items first so that is why I want to be able to pick them up. rather then they get dropped off at the store. we are making signs for sizes and would like to know how many sizes we have of what ever rather then being all clusters there trying to get things set up and what not. it's our first year doing this so we are crossing our fingers it's a big turn out!!!
