The holidays are upon us and together, A New Me Foundation and the Young Adults in Christian Ministries want to help make life a little easier for women and/or their children that have been abused at the Greenhouse Shelter, located in the Chicagoland area. Attached are the wishlist items to be donated to the shelter and the drop off location information. We humbly ask that you participate in this wishlist drive. There will be warm refreshments as a token of our appreciation upon your arrival. Please pass this information onto others and may God continue to bless you in all that you do in your life, and in the lives of others.
