Dear Universal Help Supporters,
On December 13, 2014 our volunteers will assemble brown bag dinners for the homeless. These bags will be passed out to the homeless in our area who are unable to make it into a shelter.
Throughout Maryland, 38 percent of homeless families are living on the streets. That’s the seventh highest rate of unsheltered families in the country, according to a Department of Housing and Urban Development study on the homeless released in December 2013. In a region with 7 of the 10 most affluent counties in the country, family homelessness is on the rise -- straining services, filling shelters and forcing parents and their children to sleep in cars, parks, and bus and train stations.
Many local shelters fill up, that leaves men, women, and sometimes children to fend for themselves on a nightly basis. Please join us in making a difference by sharing our gifts with those who are less fortunate.
We are requesting any items below, gift cards or monetary donations:
Cases of water
Granola Bars
Fruit Snacks
Fried chicken
Bread
Rolls
Napkins
Brown paper bags
Fruit cups
Plastic Forks/Knives/Spoons
We are a 501C nonprofit organization. All donations are tax deductible. We thank you in advance for your support to this worthwhile cause.
Sincerely,
Lakia Teixeira
Executive Director
