Help keep our neighbors TOASTY!

Today, we are kicking off our…

💚 TOASTY NEIGHBORS CAMPAIGN 💚

Throughout the entire month of October, we’ll be collecting sock and glove donations to help keep our most vulnerable neighbors warm as the colder months approach.

You can scan the QR code below to purchase items directly from our Amazon Wishlist, or bring your donations to our office at 1314 E 5th Street.

Every pair makes a difference, and together, we can make sure our neighbors feel the warmth and love from the Odessa community.
