How I Am Asking You To Help First, thanks for
taking the time to come to my website.
I need you to donate one or more of
the following bedding/bath items needed by Plymouth Housing Group to service
their residents: § Twin sheets (not queen, double, or king as Plymouth Housing Group
serves individuals, not families) § Pillow cases § New pillows (must be in new condition) § Bath towels and washcloths § Blankets Used.
If you have any of these items that are used and in good condition, please let me know by email,
and I will make arrangements to pick them up from you. This may be done by a Scout in my Troop if
I am out of town. New.
If you don’t already have any of these items that are suitable for
donation, please consider purchasing one or more items and having them mailed
to me. Please go here, where
I have links to retailers selling these items at reasonable prices. I have also included specific links to
“pre-selected” items you might want to consider purchasing for donation. If you choose to
purchase a new item, please have
it shipped directly to my home address as follows: Michael Reed
McCormack 2553 Medina Circle Medina, WA 98039 Many of these
merchants/stores periodically offer “free shipping”, so keep your eye out for
this. I will try to announce these in
the “Updates” section of this website to let you know of these
offers. If you run across a great
offer or sale, or a useful promotional code, please feel free to make a note
of this in the “Comments/Blog” section of this website so others will
be aware of the opportunity. If you have the
time, please drop me an email letting me know what you have donated so I can
keep track of everything. THANK YOU!! |
My Project My name is Michael
Reed McCormack. My home is in Medina,
Washington, where I am a member of Boy Scout Troop 430. For more about me, where I am going to high
school, my baseball career, what I am currently up to, and other things about
me, click here. This website is part of my Eagle Scout Project. The organization I
am working with is Plymouth Housing Group.
This is an incredible organization that helps the homeless and
extremely low income populations in our community. Here is a link to their website, which
describes everything that they do: http://www.plymouthhousing.org/
Plymouth Housing
Group’s mission is set forth on its website: MISSION Plymouth Housing Group
works to eliminate homelessness and stabilize homeless and very low-income
people in housing by preserving, developing and operating safe, decent,
affordable housing, and by providing opportunities for homeless and very
low-income people to improve their lives. This is a very special
organization that addresses the needs of people who are often left out of the
social programs run by the government.
Given the state of our economy, there are many more people that need
our help than in previous times. In addition to the
collection of bedding and bath items for Plymouth Housing Group, I am also conducting
a collection drive at Top Foods in the Crossroads area of Bellevue to collect
nonperishable food items and personal hygiene items (toothpaste, deodorant,
etc.). This will take place on
Saturday, November 21, 2009. I will be
home from school for Thanksgiving break and will supervise the collection
effort. Scouts from Troop 430 will man
informational tables during the hours of 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., providing
lists and colored plastic bags to help shoppers pick up articles of food and
personal hygiene items during the course of their shopping that will be boxed
and delivered to Plymouth Housing Group.
Special thanks to Mr. Mark Graham, the Store Manager at Top Foods, for
allowing me to use his store to conduct the drive. If you are in the area, I hope you will be
able to find time to drop by and pick up an item or 2 to support this effort,
or just to say “Hi”. |
