Clearing the Clutter

Monday, January 11th, 2010

As you cleaned out your closets and garage for the New Year, you probably came across great stuff that you just don’t need anymore. Perhaps your next thought was to give these used items to Union Station Homeless Services. And while we are truly grateful that you thought of us, much like you, we have very little storage space.

Union Station will continue to accept donations of new toiletries, underwear, socks, shoes, and t-shirts. To see the complete list of items that we need, see the Wish List on our website.

Your gently used items will be gratefully accepted by many organizations, several of which will pick up your items by appointment. Here is a partial list:

American Cancer Society Discovery Shops
310-458-4490

American Veterans Charities
800-795-8387

Disabled Veterans Charities

Give the Gift of Hope

Father and Son

As we near the end of 2009, I’m writing to ask for your immediate support. During this season of celebration and giving, many of our fellow community members are hurting – hungry and homeless.

Will you help Union Station give them the gift of hope this holiday season?

With all of our shelter beds full and a dramatic increased demand for our services, we must raise an additional $60,000 by December 31st to help all the individuals and families coming to us for assistance.

Please make a year-end donation today. No gift is too small – every $5 provides a day of warm, nutritious meals to someone who is hungry and homeless. And all gifts will be put to immediate use helping our fellow community members rebuild their lives.

Thank you for your support and confidence in our work.

Sincerely,

Marvin M. Gross
CEO

PS – Please donate today – we must raise $60,000 in the next three days! Don’t forget to send your donation by 12/31 for 2009 tax benefits.

If you have already made a year end donation, please accept our warm thanks.
