Each month

the Fayette Samaritans share their 10 most wanted items needed for that

month. For the month of November, these are the items most needed to stock

the charity's shelves: Clothes detergent, canned carrots, spaghetti or

pasta, bathroom tissue, instant potatoes, canned meat such as Spaghetti-O's,

canned fruit, canned soup, pasta sauce, and canned chili.

The 11-year-old

organization is supported by more than 40 area churches as well as citizens

of Fayette County. It screens applicants for free food, clothing or funds

to pay utility bills. The organization is all-volunteer and 100 percent

of any income goes directly to those in need.

It is in its

second "borrowed" location and is in need of a building of its

own. A building campaign was begun several months ago and currently has

nearly $20,000 towards that goal. Estimates are that the charity will

need upwards of $400,000 to buy the land and to construct the needed facility.

Its current

location is 213 North Jeff Davis Place, Fayetteville, Suite 102, and is

open from 9 a.m. to noon. The IHOP is just across the street. They would

be most happy to receive your donations, whether canned goods or monetary

donations. The group is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. Call them

at 770-719-2707 weekday mornings.
