Bakersfield Bethany Homeless Shelter is in need of 80 toys for this Christmas season. This organization is one of a few shelters in the state of California, which provides shelter for homeless fami-lies and single parents with children. The Hillcrest Women’s Min-istry is collecting toys for children ages 0-10 years.We are in need of: stuffed animals, puzzles, games, coloring books, crayons and books for reading. We are also asking for small toiletry items for gift bags to give the parents: small toothpaste, shampoo, condition-er, hand lotion, soap, toothbrush and washcloth. In addition, the shelter is in need of gently used clothing all sizes for both children and adults. Please place wrapped toys (with a tag indicating item and age range) and all donated items in the Women’s Ministry box in the church foyer. We need all items by December 16, 2012. We thank you for your generosity in this community service.
