Women's empowerment charity asking for school supplies donations

A nonprofit organization that offers free services to the community is asking for help so they can keep supporting those in need of support.

TOLEDO, Ohio — A women's empowerment charity that offers free services to the community is asking for school supplies donations, so they can keep helping those in need find a "light at the end of the tunnel."

Sisters in Power is behind many programs that serve those in need of support in the Toledo area, including a few cancer support groups, NA meetings, Single Mom's club, Parenting 101, Girl Code (for girls K-12), Diaper Pantry — to name a few. 

"I hope that somebody takes out of it to be a friend, to be a supporter, to be there for people who went through just everything. Nobody should do it alone," Sisters in Power founder Channel King said.

If you are interested in making a monetary donation, you can do it through any Glass City Federal Credit Union in the name of Sisters In Power or you can mail it to:

Sisters in Power Inc. 

1509 Brook Park Drive  #8
