Ruscilli Construction's 2013 Homeless Families Foundation & Dress for Success Clothing drive was a great success!
In
addition to the household and clothing items donated, we also raised a total of
$650.00 to purchase items from their critical needs list as follows:
Homeless Families Foundation
- We were able to purchase enough food to feed 5 families of four lunch &
dinner for a week! Add an infant to one of those families and we also
purchased baby food, diapers & wipes for that week. There were
a total of 5 large boxes of donations of pots & pans, plates, dishes,
drinking glasses, children’s cups, serving/cooking utensils, clothing, coats,
pillows, sheets & comforters that will help those families, as
well.
Dress for Success - We were able to help 7 struggling women with new
toiletry items from shampoo, brush/comb, bobby pins, hairspray/gel, make-up bag
with make-up and brushes, toothbrush, nail file, hand sanitizer, make-up
remover, deodorant & razor. We were also able to purchase
scarves, pantyhose, nail polish, and earrings to help 2 women.
These
items purchased, combined with the clothing, shoes & purses donated, will
help these women feel more confident as they return to the work force or when
they go on an interview.
