Heartland Hope Food Drive
April/May Theme: Baby Shower | West
Heartland Hope Mission is a faith-based organization committed to serving the working poor with love and compassion. In addition to providing food, clothing & hygiene items, they also provide services that promote self-sufficiency to help break the cycle of poverty and empower individuals and families to improve their lives. Their hope is that everyone who comes through their door knows that they are loved and that there is hope for their future. Let's shower moms in our community with hope. We are desperately in need of the following formulas, especially #1:
1. Similac Advance (Blue can)
2. Enfamil Gentlease (Purple can)
3. Similac Alimentum (Purple can)
4. Similac Sensitive (Orange can)
