RUTH'S PLACE

Hi everyone! We just wanted to let you know donations of clothes, shoes, and bedding can be dropped off at the Volunteers of America Wilkes-Barre Thrift Store at 400 South Main Street. With winter coming we increase our capacity and don't have available storage. EVERY woman who comes to our shelter gets a voucher to obtain clothing they need for free at the Thrift Store so all of your donations will still reach all of the women at Ruth's Place. If you have any questions please don't hesitate to ask! We appreciate all of your ongoing support. 

Towels are needed.  They need not be new but they must be clean.  They may be put in a white bin at  the back of the church.
