Hi, my name is Felicia Sullivan and I own Pristine Interiors, LLC. As a local contractor, I am continuously driving in and around Chambersburg, PA and the surrounding areas. I have noticed an increase in homeless families standing at intersections and in grocery store parking lots. My fiancé, Keith Keefer, has also mentioned seeing these families in different locations. At times when we see them, we will stop and ask them what it is that they need most at that moment. Their response is always: Food to eat, toiletries, clothing and money. We do what we can to help assist them, and now we have decided to reach our to the local community for further assistance.
I have reached out to numerous local charity organizations seeking advice on how to assist these individuals through their organizations. I have asked organizations if they have a GoFundMe that we could promote, and also inquired as to where we could drop food off that we collect from the community. Unfortunately I havent received responses regarding a GoFundMe, and as it stands there are two local shelters that will accept food and clothing donations. Therefore I am creating my own fundraising event to raise funds to help these individuals! I will be posting this GoFundMe on all of my business's social media accounts, as well as my personal social media. I will also be notifying all of my clients of our efforts to help these families that are in need, in hopes that we can find more people to donate funds or items to help the local homeless community.
All monetary donations through this GoFundMe will be linked to a separate bank account, with all donations being made public on a weekly basis. Receipts will also be made public on a weekly basis showing where the funds are being spent, and as to which items were purchased with the donation money. My intentions are to purchase toiletries such as toothpastes, toothbrushes, deoderants, brushes/combs, feminine products, bookbags to carry their personal items, etc.
The funds will also go towards providing ready-to-eat food for these individuals, as they do not have a means to refridgerate or heat/cook their food. I will also be forming a clothing donation drive in effort to provide these families with clothing. Clothing donations can be for any season as I will be continuing my efforts year-round.
Monetary funds can be donated through this GoFundMe. Clothing, canned foods, and any other physical items to help familiess in need can be picked-up by myself personally. Please reach out to me directly through the contact information listed on this GoFundMe listing or by searching my name and location on Facebook and reaching out to me on facebook: Felicia Sullivan in Waynesboro, PA
Thank you for your time and interest in this cause that I feel is extremely important to families and individuals in need within our community!
