This public service message is from the Carpenter’s Christian gift and book store in Butler. As you know they provide many services for the community, including providing for the needs of those less fortunate.

As of today, they have informed FM 92.1 that the storage bank is almost completely depleted of personal care items, and food items to give away.

The supply room is in need of our help to replenish the shelves for those in need.  If you had a garage sale and have some good socks leftover, wash clothes and or towels, and want to give them away, they will take them.

The Carpenter’s Cup is also in need of backpacks, personal care items, and food items, toothpaste, toothbrushes, deodorant, shampoo and conditioner, hairbrushes, and combs. If you have daily hygiene items or food items to donate, they will all be appreciated.

The Carpenters Cup Gift and Book Store is located at the underpass on 52 West just past the Butler stoplight on business 1-49. God bless you for your donations.
