November brings the wonderful, family-focused holiday of Thanksgiving. But the families we serve are unlikely to have turkeys on their tables. They will most likely make do with the chicken breast or drumsticks we offer. Can you help them fill out their meals, and provide the personal and household items they need?

NEEDS is holding our annual Student Assistance Drive!
In just a few weeks, students in the Deer Park, Sycamore, and Princeton districts will return to school – but many families in these districts cannot afford school supplies, or even necessities like food and clothing. NEEDS is seeking donations of gift cards and money to help purchase supplies for the beginning of the school year, and to provide students with warm winter clothing in December. You can help!
What to donate: – Gift cards from stores such as Walmart, Target, and Kroger – Visa and Mastercard gift cards – Gas cards (many families live in areas where busing is not available) – Check (marked for Student Assistance Drive)
Please mail your gift card or check to: NEEDS c/o Kenwood Baptist Church 8341 Kenwood Rd Cincinnati OH 45236

While the NEEDS pantry primarily supplies food, coordinator Maureen notes that “we increasingly provide a range of personal care products to those seeking our help. Why? Everyone should be able to have what they need to keep clean and healthy. In addition, it’s hard to present yourself at a job interview if you don’t have what you need to look good.”
You can help us provide these crucial items to our neighbors! Please consider donating some of our most-needed items from the list below.
Most-Needed Personal Care Items:
Shampoo Toothpaste Pump hand soap Bar soap Shaving cream Disposable razors Deodorant (men’s and women’s) Laundry detergent (Aldi currently has the lowest price in town for a small bottle of Tide: $3.44!)
Donations can be dropped off at Kenwood Baptist Church during our open hours (Tuesday and Thursday 9:00-1:00). Thank you!
