2012 Tubs of Love - Raleigh Rescue Mission

2012 Tubs of Love
We rely on the support of our local community to minister to the thousands of men, women
and children who turn to us in need throughout the year. Your family, church, school or civic
group can partner with us this holiday season by providing one or more of the Tubs of Love
listed on this sheet.
� Please read through the Tubs of Love categories and choose one or more that you and your group
would like to provide.
� Contact Holly Cook at hollyc@raleighrescue.org or 919.828.9014 ext. 126 with any questions and to
let us know which items you will be collecting. Holly can email you a flyer for your Tub of Love
category that you can distribute to your group.
� Buy a 20- to 31-gallon stackable, plastic storage tub with lid and fill it with items from your chosen
category.
� Please deliver your tubs to the RRM Donation Center, 1200 Corporation Parkway, Suite 121,
Raleigh, which is open Tuesday through Saturday, 10am-6pm.
