If you're looking for an easy way to help our housed clients, Jewel-Osco is running a promotion now through December 26th that awards one Saver Stamp for every $10 spent. Stamps are given out at the register as you buy your groceries, and can be redeemed for Cuisinart Cookware. With close to 50 clients expected to move into Open Door Housing by the end of 2015, we can certainly put the cookware to good use! Because of your donations last year, we were able to give out 17 full sets of dishes to our housed clients during a similar promotion. Stamps can be mailed or dropped off one by one, or as you fill your booklets. Thanks for your help!
