    ok folks - it's official...we will be working with
    Rev. Heather Dillashaw Spencer
    Homeward Bound of Asheville, Inc.
    Director, A HOPE Day Center

    for the Helping the Homeless addition to our Fall Gathering - below is the reply I got when asking what they needed:


    Hi Dan,


    Thank you for the email, and your interest in helping those who are experiencing the extraordinary challenges of homelessness in our communities. Our agency runs a day center for homeless adults, it's open 7 days a week. The biggest tangible needs we have for our folks are clean and dry socks, towels, and travel-size toiletry items (soap, shampoo, deodorant,). We're fortunate that many other agencies and groups in town provide meals everyday of the week, so accessing food is generally one of the easier things for folks to find.

    So there we have the shopping list - and of course anything else you may wish to include.

    We will organize a run from our stay location in Maggie Valley to the center in Ashville approx 30 miles to drop off the donations.

    Thanks again for your interest in helping others

    Here's a flyer I just put together for the event - http://theinvestorgroup.net/Storage/FallGathering.pdf

    If you think it needs anything, let me know - if you think it's good to know, share it with your buddies and let's see if we can really haul a nice load of goods for the Homeless folks.

    Thanks

    Looks great Dan. For those of us that are not able to attend, is there an address to send stuff for you to include in the run?
