The Sussex branch collected donated goods throughout April for the Volunteer Organization of Women in Sussex, to be distributed to moms in need for Mother’s Day. The branch collected “two whole buckets of items, including candles, lotions, perfume, jewelry, and soaps,” branch manager Anne Kagerah said.

The goods came from area residents and branch employees. VOWS picked up the donations and brought them to the local food pantry, where Sussex Outreach Services will distribute them.
