A Note of THANKS, and Request for Donations

 Good morning. As always, thank you for what you have already done to support The Front Porch Ministries (TFPM). Because of you, Mount Rainier residents have had a continuing source of food, diapers, coats, PPEs, and school supplies since the beginning of the pandemic. In short, we have been working hard to take care of OUR OWN! Thank you.

It has saddened me greatly to have so many of our young residents contract the COVID virus, a number of them pregnant or with young children who have also gotten the virus -- my family included. Being able to offer some outside support has meant a lot to me, but it has made some residents cry from gratitude.

Some of our seniors have come by to say how amazed they are to express their personal needs and have community members provide their necessities -- not wants, but things they require to have a quality of life, not just a dash.

THANK YOU, and as you have heard me say before, MOUNT RAINIER RESIDENTS ROCK! -- YOU DO, you really do.

Now that the holidays are over, I miss them already, TFPM is open to collecting all donations (no clothes unless we get specific requests -- not including coats, but we have enough coats for now).

There are specific requests for diapers of ALL sizes, with the greatest requests for 4s, 5s, and 6s. There is an ongoing need for adult diapers of all sizes, but more mediums and XL sizes.

With in-person learning back, the schools would also like to receive underwear for pre-k, kindergarten, first through third grade -- boys and girls. This is an ongoing need when school is in session.

Yes, every little bit helps, and I am grateful for your donations. I also appreciate the honesty and integrity exhibited in our community. For the most part, items left on the front porch stay on the front porch until I take them in. THANK YOU! That allows residents to drop things off and pick items up and maintain a little privacy while meeting their needs.

What we do in Mount Rainier is unique and SPECIAL! YEAH, WE ROCK! LOL
