Join our Spring Clean-Up Drive!!

In an effort to give back to the community, Queen Anne Medical Weight Loss has launched a Spring Clean-Up Drive to aid the homeless of Seattle. We are collecting hygiene products that can be distributed by the Union Gospel Mission's Rescue Van or used in their other programs.

What are we looking for?

• Soap
• Deodorant
• Dental Floss, Tooth Brushes, Toothpaste
• Shaving Products
• Tylenol/Cold medicine/Polysporin
• First Aid Kits
• Ace Bandages
• Lip Balm
• Tampons/Pads

After volunteering with the Rescue Van, our Medical Director, Dr. Gromko, reported back the serious lack of the above listed items -  especially feminine hygiene products. Said Dr. Gromko,

"I volunteer serving meals at our local Union Gospel Mission about once a month; it's a grounding experience and reminds me of the fact that I have no real problems. One night, I rode with the Mission's Rescue Van. We delivered blankets and hot beverages to homeless folk under the freeway bridges. Women would come up to us and ask for hygiene products. It struck me that our generous group could do something to help."

The individuals who will benefit from our drive live in the most grave conditions of local poverty; thus, anything helps.

Please find it in your hearts to donate to our cause. Both hygiene items and monetary donations will be accepted. Those who donate will be entered into a drawing for Starbucks gift cards to be drawn on April 1st.

Thank you for participating!
 



We're all in this together.
