Black History Month Personal Care Items Drive 

February is Black History Month. It is an opportunity to support survivors at our Lewis House shelter who identify as part of the Black and African diaspora with a drive for personal care items that meet their needs.  Head over to our Black History Month Personal Care Items Drive Wish List on Amazon to find needed items to support our black residents at Lewis House.  Thank you!
