What to do with frugal abundance?

Those of us "in the know" about CVS and their ECB program know we could never use that much toothpaste, toothbrushes, or deodorant in our life time but there are so many places that would welcome those type of donations. This notice appeared in our weekly church bulletin.

Simpson Shelter Urgent Needs
We currently have the following immediate donation needs in our shelters:
* Men's and women's gloves, hats and scarves
* Men's and women's thermal long underwear
* Men's underwear sizes 30, 32, 34, boxers and briefs
* Women's underwear, smaller sizes
* Men's and women's socks
* Deodorant
* 10 heavy men's winter coats
* Warm, heavy blankets - our shelter mattresses are extra-long twin sized

Donations can be brought directly to the mens shelter at 2740 First Avenue South, Minneapolis, MN 55408, Monday-Friday, 3pm-5pm & Tuesday-Sunday, 7pm-9pm. Go to http://www.simpsonhousing.org/shelter_men.htm for directions.

You may also bring them to the Simpson administrative offices, 2100 Pillsbury Avenue South, Minneapolis, MN 55404, Monday through Friday, 9am to 4pm. Go to http://www.simpsonhousing.org/2100_directions.htm for directions.
Call us at 612-874-8683 with questions. Thank you.

This has been an incredibly harsh winter in Minnesota so I'm sure the shelters are running low on all supplies.
