Goodwin Update 12/23

I was able to spend some time today organizing shoes, clothes, winter apparel and Christmas gifts.  I have an updated list of needs as well as more opportunities to help the family.

First off, Dover Baptist Church is having a Christmas Eve service "A Simple Gift" at 6:30 pm at 151 Washington Street Dover, NH 03820.  There will be a "Giving Tree" with ornaments you can take and on each ornament will be a gift request for the Goodwins.

Needs:

*Updated (12/24): If anyone knows of a house for rent in Strafford that would fit a family with 6 kids please contact Bambi at 742-8182. Adam and Kelly really need to stay in Strafford because 5 of the kiddos are in the Strafford school system.  Adam needs work pants (Carhartt, Dickies etc.) and outdoor working clothes, he is a 36/32 pant and a Med/Lg shirt.

***
Meals are still needed and appreciated.  There are no food allergies.  Meals and groceries can be delivered to Bambi's house at 223 Clement Rd. in Rollinsford, NH.

Immediate needs are as follows: bureaus, church clothing (dressy clothes), new underwear and socks, towels, and the littlest child needs size 3T clothing.  The family is all set with winter jackets and accessories.  Click here for clothing sizes.

Other ways to give are by the secure ChipIn widget on the right column of this blog.  Donations can also be deposited in the "Adam and Kelly Goodwin" account at either Holy Rosary Credit Union or Northeast Credit Union.

Gift cards are still warmly welcomed.  Something they would love is gift cards for take-out and drive-thru restaurants.  Think McDonald's, Dunkin Donuts, Pizza Hut and any delivery services in the Rochester/Somersworth/Rollinsford area.

After the holidays there is going to be a need for storage space as well as loading and transporting goods.

A quick thanks (with many more to come) go out the the Children's Museum of NH for providing admission tickets for the family and to the NH Seacoast Project Linus for providing blankets for the family.

  1. I noticed that Lisa from Wonderland Thrift Shop in Exeter requested info. re: the family on freecycle (and rec'd it). I don't know if you passed along the info. I posted in an earlier comment, but I believe she will be getting in touch with them if she has not already done so.
