Give A Gift To Vista Maria

For the past year, I have been lucky enough to meet some wonderful girls while volunteering at Vista Maria on Warren Avenue in Dearborn Heights. 

 This time of year is especially hard on some of them because the holidays could mean parents drinking, abandonment, or even abuse.  Every year, the wonderful staff at Vista Maria receives donations from the community for presents that they give the girls in their annual holiday party.   However, the girls want the basic items such as toothpaste, toothbrushes, shampoo, conditioner, deodorant, underwear, and pajamas, not just typical toys. 

  Below is a list of the other items that you can drop off for these 165 girls in need.  Thank you in advance for your donation:

-Pajamas for teenage girls and boys: Sizes S, M, L, XL, XXL

-Socks: plain white socks and fun designs, sizes 5 to 11

-Spa Kits (bodywash, shower gel and lotions)

-Underwear for teenage girls: Women’s sizes 6 to 16 and plus sizes needed.

-Developmental toys for infants (stacking blocks, etc.)

-Journals (no wire bound)

-Age-appropriate games, books, and videos (PG or G Rated)

-Stuffed animals for boys and girls

-Art supplies (crayons, markers, colored pencils)

-Craft kits (modeling clay, jewelry making)  

Call Becky Hermann at 313-271-3050 to schedule your drop off on campus.

 Please deliver by Dec. 24, 2009.
