Reminder that our next companion club meeting on August 20th has a venue change. We'll be gathering at Bowlero Roswell at 6:30 pm so please join us to bowl and mingle.
In addition, the Companion Club is collecting items for transitional housing starter kits that will be given to families moving into permanent housing after experiencing homelessness or other difficult life circumstances.
Imagine finally receiving the keys to a place of your own only to realize you don't own a shower curtain, a set of dishes, or even a laundry basket. These are everyday items many of us take for granted, but they can make a huge difference for someone starting over.
To make contributing as easy as possible, we've created an Amazon Wish List:

The wish list is simply a convenient way to see the types of items we're collecting. You are welcome to purchase these items anywhere you'd like—the Amazon list is intended as a guide and a convenient option. If you order from Amazon, the items will be delivered directly to my office. If you purchase separately, I will collect at the Lunch meetings or you may drop them off at my office.
Because we'll be assembling multiple starter kits , we need multiple quantities of every item on the list. Even if an item has already been purchased, we still need additional donations of nearly everything. If you're able, consider purchasing two or more of the same item so we can help as many families as possible.
Some of the household essentials we're collecting include:
We'll be collecting donations through the end of September. Once all of the items have been collected, we'll announce a date in October for volunteers to come together and package the starter kits before they're delivered to families.
If you have any questions, please reach out to Joseph Powell, (912) 662-2246.
