Hello Essex & Hawthorne Families!

Do you have some items in your home that no longer “spark joy”?

Examples of needed items:

Baking pans
Cake moulds
Ice cube trays
Muffin tins
Kitchen tools (spoons, spatulas, tongs, etc.)
Measuring spoons
Pots and pans
Funnels
Strainers
Buckets
Shovels
Milk crates
Baskets

Please bring the items to Tracey in the Hawthorne office during the week of January 28-Feburary 1.
