Family fun at Levis Commons

donation drive for families in need.

donation of one personal care item per person.
At 1 p.m., a BMX stunt show will be provided by the Right Direction. The high-flying bike flips and jumps
can be viewed on Hollenbeck Drive next to Bar Louie, with a requirement of one donation per person to
Baskets of Basics. In addition, Spoke Life Cycles will be set up at Levis Commons from noon-3 p.m. with
bikes of all sizes to test drive.
“The shelters expressed a need for these basic personal care items instead of the candy and toys we have
provided in the past” stated Allison Schroeder, Levis Commons marketing director. “We are happy to be
able to provide an event and a location for the community to donate Baskets of Basics with these
essential, and often taken for granted, items.”
Personal care items such as toothpaste, deodorant, soap, shampoo and feminine hygiene products are being
collected for two area shelters. The items will be donated to the Family House and Cocoon to assist with
care and to provide some start-up supplies as the families transition out on their own.
Donations can be made during regular operating hours at the following Levis Commons business locations:
Blue Pacific Grill, Directions Credit Union, Salvatore Capelli Salon and Rave Cinemas.
