Lutheran Church of the Good Shepherd hopes to assemble and fill 400 "blessing bags" to homeless individuals in Fargo-Moorhead by November 20. And they are asking for help from members of the congregation and the community.

Organizers are asking for donations of hand warmers, warm winter clothing like socks, gloves and hats, toothbrushes and toothpaste and first aid items like bandages, tissues and cotton swabs. Cereal bars, antibacterial hand sanitizer in gel form, lip balm, cough drops, gum or hard candy are also appreciated. Donations are requested before November 20.

Contact Julie Wilson at 218-233-4980 or jwilson@ktgs.org to make a donation. Lutheran Church of the Good Shepherd is located at 4000 28th St. S. in Moorhead.
