Baskets for Fletcher Place

Essential Household & Self-Care Items for Families in Need
Each fall season, we collect of donations of laundry baskets filled with household supplies for Fletcher Place, which gives them to local families in need. Public support programs do not typically provide these essential items, so your donations mean a great deal.
Please bring baskets to The Garden by Sunday, Nov. 26.
Thank you!
