​

As the cold of winter sets in, many are starting to worry about heating their homes. Oil, gas and food prices are through the roof.  However, we often forget about the people that don’t have homes. The state of our economy is only expected to increase the homeless population this year.

After hearing about the struggles these people are facing, I approached my parents and church family, Spirit of Life Fellowship, and decided to do something to aid the efforts of organizations like Healthcare For The Homeless. We are starting a campaign called, ‘Satchels for Souls,’ which aims to help provide supplies to the homeless for winter. We purchased 60 satchels to fill with winter aids,  such as hats, gloves, socks, hand/boot warmers, hygiene items, granola bars and beef jerky and other desired items.  But we need the community’s help.  If you are willing to purchase even one item,  you can touch a life with hope and love.

Finally, I want to thank not only the Healthcare for the Homeless representative, Elizabeth Vozzella, that opened our hearts and eyes to this dire need,  but also to those who have and will support Satchels For Souls.  We would love to purchase  even more than 60 satchels!

Items can be dropped off at the following locations:

Harvest Market located at 36 Center Street, Wolfeboro and at Integrity Earthworks between the hours of 8am and 3pm. Address: 15 NH-28, Ossipee, NH 03864 and a complete list of items can be found at bookofromans8.org.  You may also contribute a tax-deductible monetary donation at that website and designate the funds to be used for the Satchels for Souls campaign or mail a check to:
