1st Advantage Federal Credit Union and the Gloucester Kiwanis Club worked together to make toiletry bags for the homeless, delivering 20 bags to the GUEST homeless shelter in Gloucester. Each bag contained soap, deodorant, toothbrush and toothpaste and other toiletry items. The Kiwanis Club, as well as the members from the 1st Advantage Gloucester branch, donated the items for the bags. To help in this ongoing project, people are encouraged to drop off donations to the bank at 6511 George Washington Memorial Highway. Items received will be gathered for the GUEST shelter. Shown here putting together toiletry bags are, from right, Kristie Askew, executive director of the GUEST shelter; Pamela Nichols, regional manager of 1st Advantage, Gloucester and Kiwanis secretary; Herman “Bill” Parks, GUEST and Kiwanis board member, and Cheryl Sanford, assistant manager of 1st Advantage, Gloucester.
