The Monthly Wish: January 2022
on Jan 1, 2022
Your generosity powers our mission, so we’re making sure we use your gifts wisely. Here’s a wish list of items for our shelters, updated monthly so you can see what we need most and where you can make the biggest impact.
Visit our Meal Train or email Matthew Wilkins at mwilkins@hebronhouse.org to find out even more ways you can get involved!
We would also like to give a quick shout-out to Meijer on Sunset Dr. in Waukesha for contributing $5,000 in December and the office would like to mention the cookies were great as well :) Thank you, Meijer!
What’s New This Month?
13 and 30-Gallon Black Garbage Bags:
Happy New Year! Let's kick off the new year with garbage bag liners! 30-gallon black garbage bags and 13-gallon kitchen garbage liners are fine in white.
Coffee Filters:
Coffee filters are a constant need in our shelters and especially so during the winter months when even more guests are coming in from the chilly outdoors needing something to warm them up.
