Pass Your Blessings, Please

By
Real Estate Broker/Owner with Crescent City Living LLC Licensed LA RE Commission

 

 

At this time of year, when we are all counting our blessings, I think it is important that we should also take the time to remember those less fortunate.  What if your blessings did not include a roof over your head or a place free of violence?  What if the smallest, necessary items were unavailable to you?  What would you do?  Where would you turn?

 

 

 

 

 The Latter & Blum Algiers office, in support of a local battered women's shelter, is collecting small toiletries to donate.  These items are always needed by the shelter...many women come to them with little more than the clothes on their backs.

 

You know you have a drawer full of shampoo, conditioner, small wrapped soaps and other goodies from hotels hiding somewhere in your house.  Or those perfume and makeup samples that came along with your last purchase.  What are you saving them for?  Put them to good use and put a smile on someone's face!

 

To help with this worthy cause, please drop off your donations to the Algiers Latter & Blum office at #1 Seine Court, Suite 100, New Orleans, LA.  We are located in the glass building on General de Gaulle with the lovely fountains and duck ponds.  Can't drop off?  Give me a call and I'll be happy to pick them up from you!

 

 

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone.

Lisa, I do have drawers of things you're welcome to...does this mean you're coming to visit? :)  Seriously, this is a wonderful idea and something I hadn't thought of....I know just who to donate them to.  Thank you for sharing this, I love it.

Carole, I would love to be able to pick up from you...travel time may be an issue, though :)  Take the idea and run with it in your own area!

Gail, you can do it too!  There is an agent in my office who organizes this every year...I just thought what better way to try to spread the word than through Active Rain - you never know who might read it and make a donation.
