CGS Holiday Charity Project 2019

Dear fellow CGSers,

I am honored to present this most worthy Christmas project.  Your generosity these past years have been overwhelming!  

This year the project will be in support of the LGBTQ Youth Space, a safe space for youth in downtown San Jose, and Encompass Ministry for the homeless in Santa Clara County. The Biology Department at Stanford University will again be partnering with us in this project. These two organizations are thrilled with what we are able to give them.

There is a Giving Tree in the Narthex that have tags on it so you can choose one or both organizations to donate to.  If you donate to both organizations please place them in separate bags or boxes.  Please return your donation back the Narthex and place them around the tree.

Here are some ideas for the Youth Space:
  • Individually packaged, non-perishable microwave meals ex. pasta, ramen and noodle soups, cans of soup, oatmeal cups, macaroni & cheese cups, etc... 
  • Food bars ex. Clif Bars, protein bars, granola bars, fruit bars, etc. 
  • Individually packaged snacks ex. crackers, seaweed, trail mix, dried fruit, etc... 
  • Sneakers feminine (especially in sizes 9-12), masculine, and neutral styles.

Here are some ideas for the Encompass Homeless Ministries:
Travel size preferred, all sizes used: 
  • shampoo
  • conditioner
  • deodorant
  • razors
  • body lotion
  • hand lotion
  • chapstick
  • hand wipes
  • hand sanitizer
  • toothpaste
  • toothbrushes
  • floss
  • combs/brushes
  • hair bands
  • make up
  • feminine hygiene products
  • nail polish
  • socks
  • underwear
  • winter gloves/mittens
  • toilet paper
  • diapers

These donations are used throughout the year by these organization, so having your gifts turned in before Christmas is not a must. 

If you would like to give a check please make the check out to The Youth Space or Encompass Homeless Ministries. They will send you back an acknowledgement of your check.  Please turn checks into me or Laura Rinde.

Please if you have any questions do not hesitate to call me or email me!

Peace and love,
Joe Shackelford
