A Letter....

Here is a letter from one of our toiletry bank clients (He has been diagnosed with HIV):
"Dear Stephanie,
Today I came home from One More and realized what a blessing it was to have met you and your husband. What a great help you are to the people in Chambersburg.

Sure, the toiletries were much needed. I washed clothes when I got home. :) But the sharing, the praying for me, acceptance of me and my situation in life, and understanding of me blew me away. I came in expectied to fill out some paperwork, and pick up a few things for my apartment.

WRONG!!! What I came home with will never fit in any amount of bags in your store. You made my heart and soul feel special. I really needed that, especially during these trying holidays. You made Christmas a bit more easier knowing that I have your hugs and reminding me that God loves ME even though I have all this junk in my life.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Gratefully Yours,
********
P.S. See you all on Friday night and thank you for inviting me! Now I'll have some clean clothes to wear that night! Take Care"

It's good to know that we ARE making a difference in our community!
