Circles is a non-profit organization that seeks to decrease poverty by at least 10% in our community. Each week, people in our program get together for a dinner meeting to go over their goals, make friends, and make progress getting out of poverty. Each meal helps alleviate some stress placed on impoverished individuals and families and ensures at least one nutritional meal per week. In order for these events to occur, Circles is in great need of paper products, as the organization feeds between 50-100 people each week. Paper and cleaning products will be used for the weekly dinners. Your donation ensures that Circles can continue to assist individuals and families in the community. Items needed: -Clorox Wipes - Ziploc Storage Bags (sandwich, quart, and gallon size) - Paper or Plastic Bowls - Plastic Forks - Plastic Spoons - Plastic Knifes - Paper or Plastic Cups - Take away boxes To donate, please contact Shannon at 801-691-5240. The Circles Initiative assists low-income families and individuals to become self-reliant. We meet weekly with participants to assist them in identifying and accomplishing goals, to support them with friendship and encouragement, to connect them with resources, and to strengthen them to overcome obstacles.
