JMS Leo Club Collecting Items for Africa and Avenues for Youth
The JMS LEO Club is collecting items for Africa and Avenues for Youth. Some families in Africa have no clothes, food, or water, and if they do, it’s poor, unusable quality. Can you imagine being in their place? Avenues for Youth is a homeless shelter for the young who also don’t have much and need your help as well. This is why JMS needs you to help donate; it could be toys, books, clothes, or any spare, safe items you may have! These will be split between helping Africa, and Avenues for youth homeless shelter.
The drive starts Monday, Nov. 28, and ends Wednesday, Dec 7.
Items being donated can be brought to the Community Ed office during Advisory each day.
Thank you for your help!
