Artists Helping Children:List of Shelters. It is a blessing to donate whatever amount of bulk foods (canned or bundled goods) to one of the many shelters set up to help the temporarily displaced... You might consider arranging a delivery, or helping with delivery; or perhaps starting up a food drive for shelter pick-up, until many are back on their feet...
Even if for just one day, we must help others over the rough road. Thank you.
