Contributions Needed for the Homeless

Historically, Midwest PETS has asked that each attending PE have a quick club engagement project and bring items that we will then donate to a local charity. Two years ago all 350 clubs brought canned goods and gifted them to a local food pantry; Last year after the devastating tornado in the Washington, Illinois area we donated books to their local library to help restock their empty book shelves.
This year, due to the local need for the homeless in Northeastern Illinois, your Governor-elects have opted for what we are calling "A Pair and a Spare", and are asking club members to contribute "new" children or adult socks and underwear. All items will be picked up, at the Westin, by the local Salvation Army for distribution to the homeless Veterans and the needy.

Steve will be attending the PETS meeting and will be taking with him the socks and underwear collected by our members. Please bring your contribution to either the February 26th or March 5th meeting.
