FEED MY SHEEP
Can You Help!? Feed My Sheep is in the need of Sleeping Bags and Other Camping Gear
The Feed My Sheep night shelter for the homeless will close in mid-March and their guests will move to the mountains outside of Glenwood Springs until the shelter opens next November. 
They are in need of gently used tents, sleeping bags and other camping gear.
We are off to a good start -- Jan and Bob Blaich have just donated a very nice camping air mattress.
Please contact Neal Batson ( nbatson@alston.com) if you can help.
Many Thanks! Neal B.
