List of Products and Supplies Needed
What we need and when we need it always depends on the food donations. So, I am listing here the full product and supply list.
I will edit as necessary.
Some of these products are not a necessity all of the time. Quantity and quality is more important than variety. And the quantity in parentheses is only a "wish" amount. Anything less would still be greatly appreciated.
Keep in mind that some of these supplies could be eliminated if we had more steady volunteers, ie. plastic/styrofoam plates, forks, and spoons could be eliminated with donated hard plastic and silverware. But this would create a need for saving, washing, sterilizing, and bringing all this back down to the park everyday.

Beautiful!
Thank you, mom for being a part of this and being inspiring.
I will be there soon to help.
Thanks for the comment. All help is always appreciated whether it be with food, clothing, or conversation.
I read once that homelessness is (or can be) a state of mind. Many folks at the park have a roof over their head but still go to the park
7 days a week for the company.
Look forward to seeing you!
Mom,
Heard about all the events recently...I have been researching the homeless for about 2 years now at UNLV. Have some help and some ideas to toss around with you, if/when you have some time.
I'll be there to help as often as I can... We have comprehensive finals this week, but after that I will be a regular! Met someone who holds you in high regard today....
Talk to you soon...
Mo
