Phyllis makes lunches daily at the Green Door Clubhouse and is on a limited income. She would really appreciate a cutting board and a fanny pack.
Roberta needs an answering machine, to keep in touch with the people who call her.
Mimi has recently moved into her own apartment after a period of homelessness. She is in need of an answering machine, printer, shower curtain and rings, clothes hangers, summer clothes (size 8), lamps, a night stand, a TV stand, and living room chairs. Having these items would meet some of her basic needs and turn her new apartment into a home.
Robert would like a microwave to allow him to reheat leftovers, saving him money on food.
Thomas is a patient at St. Elizabeth’s and is getting out of the hospital soon. He needs a wallet for all of his new ID’s and any information he’ll need to carry with him when he’s out.
Every Thursday morning, the Green Door Clubhouse’s members and staff make breakfast. They would like to the change breakfast menu from pancakes to waffles. They will need two waffle irons to do so.
Green Door housing needs five vacuums for the five housing units. The vacuums consistently break from their constant use. This will help maintain a clean and healthy home.
Piney Branch, Minnesota House, and Pennsylvania House are housing units of Green Door. The members would really appreciate exterior table and chairs (3 sets that seat six people). This will allow them to socialize with roommates and to have comfortable furniture to use outside.
The Green Door Clubhouse is beginning to hold its monthly summer cookouts. The members would really appreciate a kickball to use at the cookouts.
The Café Unit would like a nacho cheese dispenser and a Slurpee/Slushy machine to attract more people down to their unit.
