On November 2nd we will be starting our 15th year at Charitable Deeds of helping the poor and needy. In the 14 years we have completed, we have never turned one worthy person away that was deserving of our help. Charitable Deeds would not be able to do what it does without the Good Lord and you wonderful Charitable Deeds members, churches, businesses, organizations, and the public for the donations and the help that you give to Charitable Deeds. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you.

Some of these families could be your family or friends. We have warehouse that we have furniture, clothing, bedding, etc. about everything to help the less fortunate that have fallen hard times in what they might need. All items that are in our warehouse has been donated by a lot of you amazing people.
