In this time of Covid 19 Stay at Home Requirements

The Salvation Army needs our help with supplies to help

those badly impacted by the Covid 19 crises.

 

The Lewisville Morning Rotary Club is helping Salvation Army by providing, Bar soap, Deodorant, Toothbrushes, Diapers sizes 4,5,6, Canned meats and other pasta canned meals like raviolis to assist families in a crises situation. Because stores are restricting what can be purchased due to shortages, help is needed to donate these items and bring them to the Salvation Army at 206 Main St in Lewisville. Everyone is being extremely careful during the delivery process to keep ourselves safe through social distancing. Please leave the supplies at the back door as shown in photo and SA volunteers will unpack and shelf the items in preparation for the next family in need.
