Donations needed for the homeless

As fall weather approaches the needs of the homeless are more acute. The VMA supports helping the homeless through the Charitable Outreach Program. We collect and distribute the donations to community programs that service the homeless.

You can help by contributing new or “like new” items for women or men. Men’s clothing and tennis shoes are especially needed. We accept sweat suits, shirts, pants, sweaters, jackets, caps, knitted scarves, socks, blankets, and everyday clothing. Unopened shampoos, soaps, lotions, toothpaste, new toothbrushes, and combs are also needed.  

If you have questions about this worthwhile program or donations to make, you can contact program coordinator Pamela Leonard at 408-613-2194 or email pleonard43@comcast.net or Peter Conk at 408-472-2456 or email peter_conk@yahoo.com.  DO NOT drop off donations at the VMA office.
