MEET THE NEED
5th ANNUAL "MEET THE NEED FOR MOMS IN MAY"
Help homeless and displaced women and children in North Texas throughout April
"Meet the Need for Moms in May" is a donation drive Planned Parenthood of North Texas (PPNT) is sponsoring throughout the month of April.
PPNT is collaborating with The Vogel Alcove in Dallas County (a day care center for homeless women’s children), Hope's Door of Collin County (a live-in shelter for abused and displaced women and their children), and SafeHaven of Tarrant County (a live-in shelter for women and their children).
PPNT will collect NEW and UNUSED childcare supplies through May 4 in North Texas area clinics and present the donations to moms in honor of Mother's Day. In 2008, we collected 2,000 pounds of donations. Please help us surpass that amount in 2009!
Donation boxes will be in clinic waiting rooms starting Friday, April 4.
