Good morning again! Thank you for your quick responses to my earlier post. We have had 2 large donations of milk within an hour of my post so I am asking our donors to wait at least 2 weeks to donate milk as we do everything possible not waste any donation. Thank you again for your generosity.

We are tickled PINK because PINK is the 50% off color this week. All PINK tags and labels are 50% off this week at Lily Pads Peru and Ottawa. Start seeing PINK.
Yesterday was a prime example of a bitter sweet experience for us.
We are saddened to see our partners at the Ottawa Salvation Army close their family thrift store. We are beyond blessed that they invited us to come in and pull items from their store to utilize at our shelter and in our Lily Pads Too Resale Boutique. We are excited to see our neighbors grow and invest in our community in other ways throughout the future.
Our greatest appreciation is extended to the Salvation Army of Ottawa. This partnering organization truly goes above and beyond in making a significant difference in many lives. Furthermore, they work diligently to ensure that our community members never lose hope. May God bless them as they continue to do His work.
