Stamp Out Hunger Food Drive

Tomorrow is the Stamp Out Hunger food drive. If you place a bag of non-perishable items by your mailbox, mail carriers will pick it up and deliver it to a local food bank. 

From May 6th to May 28th, donates may also be dropped off at the local El Pollo Loco. For every donation received, a free Churro will be given, up to four. Items needed most are: rice, beans, peanut butter, canned meats, canned fruits, and canned vegetables. 

Please give whatever you are able to. 

Women's Shelter in Wilmington

The Beacon Light Mission hopes to open the doors to a women's shelter this summer. The 6,500-square-foot facility will provide 20 beds for homeless women. Currently, the church can only provide food for those in need and there isn't a single women's shelter in the area. This project has been supported solely through donations from about two dozen churches in the South Bay.

The women's committee of the church has assembled a cookbook and it is being sold for a donation of $10. They are reaching out to other community groups in hopes of raising the needed funding for the shelter.

Doors of Hope will provide homeless women with:

• Temporary shelter
• Daily meals and showers
• Clean clothing
• Counseling and Spiritual guidance

Please donate to this great cause.

Dollar a Day in May!

The Wilmington Dollars for Scholars is having its annual "A Dollar a Day in May" event. They are asking for $1 donations for each day of the 31 day month. Only 50% of students in low-income communities are expected to finish high school and only one out of seven will graduate from college. It is life changing to provide a student help with tuition.

Although, I was lucky enough to receive scholarships to go to UC Berkeley, I still have plenty of student loans to pay off. I know many people from Wilmington receive admission to a UC and choose not to go because of money issues. So please help if you can.

Checks can be made out to Dollars for Scholars and sent to P.O. Box 1522 Wilmington CA 90748. For more information, check out the website.
