Youth On Their Own: The Need Continues 

Many people have expressed a desire to continue to support YOTO throughout the year. The mini-mall/pantry is always in need of non-perishable food items that the students can request on a weekly basis.

• Popular items are those that are easy to prepare or require little preparation.
• Peanut butter, tomato products, mac and cheese, pastas and canned fruits or vegetables are always needed.
• If you would like to contribute personal hygiene items, please purchase full-sized shampoos, conditioners, deodorants, etc.
• For a list of items currently needed, check: yoto.org/in-kind-gifts.

If you have items to donate you may bring them to Monday morning’s program. There will be a table in the back of the ballroom to receive donations. You may also drop off donations at the home of Diane Quinn, 2276 E. Skywalker Way.

Back tracking to December of 2017… the gift bags provided by our wonderful TWOQC members for the YOTO students touched the heart of a YOTO staff member. Her thoughts were captured by another YOTO staff member and we would like to share her heartfelt comments with you HERE.

Programs: Would you like to help out?

Do you have an idea for a program you would like to attend at TWOQC? Do you have a suggestion for a new or different activity you would like TWOQC to consider? The Programs Committee wants your ideas! Please send them to the committee by contacting Diane Quinn at programs@womenqc.com.

The Programs Committee is looking to expand and would welcome a few new members. This committee researches programs and entertainment options on behalf of TWOQC. Members then contact prospective presenters and work with other members of TWOQC to make the program happen. Here is your chance to get involved with another fun side of our group. Interested? Contact Diane Quinn, programs@womenqc.com.

Homeless & Hospitalized Veterans

Please bring donations of toiletries, disposable plates, cups utensils and calendars/ notecards/playing cards to the program on January 29 and place them on the table at the rear of the ballroom.

There is a female homeless veteran who is in desperate need of a stroller—she has a 3 year old special-needs child and a 1-year old. If you have a stroller (single or double) your grandchildren have outgrown, let us know if you can help. You will get a receipt for tax purposes.
