Donations needed for homeless shelters

Jan. 28, 2008: The City of Fargo and the Fargo Human Relations Commission are sponsoring their fourth-annual “Stuff the Bus” campaign, an effort to collect non-perishable food and other items for area homeless shelters. You can donate items at all area Hornbacher’s stores; Roosevelt, Horace Mann and Kennedy elementary schools in Fargo; the NDSU Memorial Union; the University Lutheran Center at NDSU; Peace Lutheran Church in Fargo; and First United Methodist Church in Fargo.

Items most needed at our shelters include:

• linens and towels.

• new socks and underwear.

• toiletries.

• winter hats and gloves.

• disposable diapers and baby formula.

• canned goods.

• pots and pans.

• board games and books.

• laundry, cleaning and school supplies.

The donated items will be “stuffed” into a city bus and delivered to the shelters on Feb. 8 .
