LUBBOCK, Texas (KCBD) – Saint Francis Ministries is collecting food and hygiene products to stock up its brand-new emergency needs closet, designed to support local foster children and reunifying families during after-hours crises.
For many case workers and families, emergency situations often happen after hours. The emergency closet will allow caseworks to grab non-perishable foods, hygiene items, diapers and other things for families who may need these resources to hold them over in a crisis situation.
The drive is ongoing, and Saint Francis is currently accepting donations of key emergency items. High-priority needs include:
Non-perishable food items (canned goods, easy-to-prep meals, snacks)Hygiene products (shampoo, soap, toothbrushes, toothpaste, deodorant)Baby essentials (diapers, wipes, baby food)Other emergency essentials
The non-profit urges community members to use its Amazon wish list to help stock its closet.
