Help for the Homeless Donation Box Distribution

Last year, the Help the Homeless campaign collected more than $140,000 worth of new personal hygiene and cleaning products that stayed right here in the Fox Cities.  Overall, more than $250,000 worth of these products were received by 43 local crisis agencies from Green Bay to Fond du Lac.   
 
Our Kiwanis club will once again be supporting the WEMI Family Radio "Help for the Homeless" campaign.  We will be delivering and setting up over 200 collection boxes in the Fox Valley at local businesses, industry, schools, and church sites. Boxes will be ready on Feb. 9th and all boxes must be out by February 15th.  Members distribute boxes at their convenience.  
   
Products that are received will be distributed to the following organizations:

• B.A.B.E.S. New London
• Boys and Girls Club Runaway Program
• Cerebral Palsy of Mideast WI
• COTS Transitional Shelters for Men & Women
• Homeless Connection
• Fox Cities Community Health Center
• Fox Valley Warming Shelter
•  Harbor House
• Housing Partnership of the Fox Cities
• LEAVEN
• Mother & Unborn Baby Care
• Ryan Community Transitional Housing
• Salvation Army
• Winnebago County Dept. Human Services

Each Kiwanian will select locations to deliver and set-up boxes during this time frame. Members will pick up boxes at the WEMI Family Radio Station offices located at 1909 W. Second Street in Appleton.

The time commitment will be 1-2 hours depending on locations selected and number of volunteers.
