Need Bed,Bath&Beyond coupons?
by Marlo Engels 11 Dec '19

11 Dec '19

I have a bunch of Bed Bath and Beyond coupons that I’d like to get rid of. I think I have about 15-20 or so. With the holidays just around the corner if you need to get some last minute shopping done, these would help your wallet. So that a few people can benefit, I’d like to limit 5 coupons per person. Email me to claim and we’ll figure out pick up. Simply Happy, Marlo

We have attached a letter in regards to what they need, but most importantly it is FOOD, Monthly needs, etc. are all needed at this time. Last month we took our Van Loaded, and it was so needed and so much appreciated. Mike and Brigette Nadler, are coordinating the Highland Park pick up. If you are inclined to help, leave the supplies on your front porch, then we will pick up and get your donations to FOCUS. So we are doing this again TOMORROW on Thursday, 12 DEC 19. We will be around starting at 9:00 AM, and need to get the donations there by noon. Please DO NOT drop off here, as we do not have a way of storing donations.

Free Christmas tree stand
by lsrussell＠aol.com 11 Dec '19

11 Dec '19

This is an easy-to-use stand but it's for a BIG tree (up to 12 feet tall) and doesn't work well for a smaller tree with a narrower trunk. Let me know if you would like to see a photo. Lucy
