THANK YOU!

Thank you for the overwhelming support!

Yesterday's post wasn't easy to write.

I usually keep my personal life private, but after so many people shared photos and videos of the storm damage to our home and car, it felt important to acknowledge what so many of you had already seen.

The challenges my family is facing are affecting the work behind the scenes at 611, and I wanted you to understand why.

Your donations, messages, and encouragement have been a powerful reminder that so many people believe in what we're building.

Let's keep going.

Tomorrow is our first contribution drop-off of August.

We're still working to move 611 beyond month-to-month. Every item placed on our shelves helps families today. Every financial contribution helps build the stability we need to keep showing up tomorrow and grow into the resource we know 611 can become.

If you'd like to help, here's what we need most right now:

Pantry
• Sugar
• Instant coffee (preferred)
• Cooking oil
• Tea
• Salt & pepper
• Peanut butter
• Jelly
• Pasta
• Jarred pasta sauce
• White rice (white only)
• Dried beans

Essentials
• Laundry detergent
• Dish soap
• Menstrual products (our highest need)
• Toilet paper
• Paper towels
• Shampoo
• Baby-safe soap
• Ziploc bags

Other Needed Items
• New or very clean backpacks
• Sunglasses
• Kitchen electronics and gadgets
• Action figures
• Beauty and personal care items (makeup, hair products, nail polish, etc.)
• Jewelry

We're not accepting clothing, shoes, or books at this time.

Whether you bring a bag of pantry staples, a pack of menstrual products, or make a financial contribution, you're helping build a stronger, more sustainable 611.

Thank you for believing in what we're building.
