ok folks - it's official...we will be working with
Rev. Heather Dillashaw Spencer
Homeward Bound of Asheville, Inc.
Director, A HOPE Day Center
for the Helping the Homeless addition to our Fall Gathering - below is the reply I got when asking what they needed:
Hi Dan,
Thank you for the email, and your interest in helping those who are experiencing the extraordinary challenges of homelessness in our communities. Our agency runs a day center for homeless adults, it's open 7 days a week. The biggest tangible needs we have for our folks are clean and dry socks, towels, and travel-size toiletry items (soap, shampoo, deodorant,). We're fortunate that many other agencies and groups in town provide meals everyday of the week, so accessing food is generally one of the easier things for folks to find.
So there we have the shopping list - and of course anything else you may wish to include.
We will organize a run from our stay location in Maggie Valley to the center in Ashville approx 30 miles to drop off the donations.
Thanks again for your interest in helping others

Looks great Dan. For those of us that are not able to attend, is there an address to send stuff for you to include in the run?
July 26, 2010 2:28 AM PDT
good point - I will clear it with A Holiday to get items sent there - if they can not handle it... I will collect it and take it in the box truck
