Stake Needs & Available Needs List
Immediate Needs
2-4 Boxes Full of: Winter jackets, warm shirts, and winter shoes or boots in all sizes; both male and female. These items for persons being released from jail that do not have warm winter clothing in which to dress. Only a limited amount is needed. Please check the pockets for jackets and shirts before donating to assure they are empty. This is a great comfort for those released during these especially cold winter days.
I will have boxes setting on my porch at 2613 Rd. 80 that can be filled up with items to take over to the Benton County office. Hoping to fill the boxes by Feb. 10th.
Needed: Local Benton-Franklin Bus Tickets. These tickets are for persons being released from jail that do not have transportation. This is a great comfort for those released during cold winter days. Please contact me, Sister Barron, by email at pascostakehumanitarian@gmail.com for more information on how you can help with tickets.. Thank you!!

Your hearts are big :)September, 2015:
Plarn, plarn and plarn was made to keep Sisters, YW, and other churches that want to help in making homeless sleeping mats very busy! Thank you so much. We understanding and unify in how this opportunity is one that our Heavenly Father has provided to create an environment of needing and helping each other. It's really rare as I visited with the non-members. We sometimes take simple acts for granted as we have so many opportunities. Others are watching and know that what we have is precious :) They expressed so much appreciation and opened so many doors for us to go through to reach out in shining the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Be grateful for this blessing of your plarn..
