Christ the Good Shepherd Lutheran Church will be collecting new linens and other items to benefit families transitioning from homelessness into housing as part of its 2023 Spring Giving Campaign.
The campaign, which runs through June 4, will benefit families, women and children served by New Reach, a non-profit organization based in New Haven, Conn. Since 1990, New Reach has helped thousands of vulnerable households and families throughout New Haven and Fairfield counties achieve stability and self-reliance through a continuum of housing interventions and support.
Current needs include pillows, blankets, comforters, twin-XL sheets, towels and toiletries, such as body wash, shampoo and conditioner. Please note that all donated items should be new and will be collected at Christ the Good Shepherd, 600 Shepard Ave., Hamden. Gift cards to Wal-Mart, Target, Stop & Shop, Shop Rite and Big Y, as well as Visa gift cards in increments of $25, will also be accepted.
