Over the Thanksgiving/Christmas holidays I collected items that the RMH here in Bham needed----I called first to find out specifically what they needed.
I received items from people I work with, people that my parents work with, and other friends and family. I set a date to have everything turned in to me, and then my father, brother, and I loaded up the cars and took everything down to the RMH here. They were so happy to see everything we had.
We had food items for their pantry, toys for the kids, as well as travel toiletry items for the guests to use.
It was very easy to ask people to help such a good cause, especially when I gave them background about how to help, and what the RMH is used for. I found out that a lot of people didn't know the purpose of the RMH.
