COUNTY NURSES REQUEST
Melissa Richardson, a county nurse, sent the following request:
I have a client who is in need of things for her new home. She has been homeless for the last two years and just got her first apartment!! However, she does not have the essentials, like sheets, towels, bakeware, etc. She could use the following:
Full size sheets
Towels
Bakeware/ Cookware
Pot Holders/ Kitchen Towels
Cleaning Supplies
I was also hoping to help her with a small Christmas tree and some ornaments and decorations, stockings for her and her daughter.
Please contact Melissa Richardson at marichardson@co.slo.ca.us if you have any of these items and arrange an exchange time and location.
