BELL COUNTY, Texas — Residents of the McLane Center of Home Women and Family Shelter received a Mother's Day surprise with 25 hyenine bags donated from the Chisholm Trail Chorus.
The bags donated to the center were filled with shampoo, soap, lip balm, deodorant, mouthwash, lotions and loofahs.
"Community partnerships can have lasting impacts,” Sheila Donahue, chorus president, said. “Our Board of Directors toured the Temple Salvation Army facility in Temple last year and realized the women’s shelter could use our help.”
The group previously donated socks around the Christmas holiday and gift card that are used by staff to help residents purchase medications or give them an opportunity to purchase treats from local food establishments.
“Little things mean a lot to those who are struggling,” Donahue said. “We are honored to share what we can.”
The Salvation Army of Bell County runs the McLane Center of Hope Women and Family Shelter and the men's shelter and provides a handful of services to community members in need.
