SOS Community Services – “Boxes of Love”

While it wasn’t started specifically in response to this tragedy, SOS Community Services is holding a “Boxes of Love” event to help area families from now until February 14… From their blog:

To do: Members of the community get a plastic container and fill it with basic needs items such as soap, shampoo, conditioner, clothing, a box of chocolates, baby items, etc. and they are given to families/women we serve in our Housing Crisis Center, Family Shelter and Transitional Housing Program. People decorate the container for Valentine’s and then the boxes are dropped off at SOS. Boxes can be dropped of at our Housing Crisis Center, 114 River Street, Ypsilanti, MI 48198 from Feb 2nd-Feb 14th during the hours of 9am-5pm M-F.
