A charity organization serving 91大黄鸭, Lake Country, Vernon and Armstrong are in desperate need of donations.
All Are Family Outreach president Clary Lausnes said, the increase in families needing support has been dramatic over the past few months.
鈥淲e have children living on the streets. We have families living in tents with three kids in the middle of winter,鈥� Lausenes cried. 鈥淲e have a family with an 18-month-old, a five-year-old and a six-year-old living in a tent. There was an 18-year-old living with her baby in a cardboard box covered by a tarp last winter in 91大黄鸭.鈥�
Lausnes said they don鈥檛 have places for rent, but they did help that young mom get a roof over her head.
All Are Family Outreach is looking for both physical and cash donations. Lausnes said the top of the list right now is pasta sauce, jam, granola bars, canned or fresh fruit, any kind of milk, and dog and cat food.
