For the month of October, The Giving Tree will be reaching out to support Bill’s Place located on Centre Street very close to our church. Bill‘s Place is a safe space for people who identify as 25LGBTQIA+. A former Chatham resident Bill Brokenshire established a trust fund in his will to help establish a safe space, as he felt he needed to leave Chatham when he was younger as no such support was available here. His vision was to purchase a property with two apartments upstairs to sustain the building and its programming. So many youth turn to suicide without needed support and a place to feel safe.
Bill’s Place is in need of:
- Bottled Water
- Pudding Cups
- Individually Wrapped Crackers
- Travel Sized Soap
- Travel Sized Shampoo
- Juice Boxes
- Granola Bars
- Lunch Sized Wrapped Cookies
- Spaghetti Sauce
- Kraft Dinner Boxes
