Vickie Crowe, Fort Scott, started a mission to honor her son Frankie, who died about three years ago, and was homeless.
Since then, the group that has volunteered to help her has held dinners for the homeless at Wesley House and the Salvation Army in Pittsburg because she couldn’t find a place in Fort Scott to do a dinner, she said. She also does mission work in Pittsburg.
Recently, at the Heritage Pavilion in Fort Scott, she and a group of helpers handed out sack lunches to those in need.
“We would like to do more and more often,” she said. “We have to raise money to do this.”
The group that helps the mission consists of Cara Guthrie, Donna Brisbin, Jeri Mitchell, and Burt Hawkins, and recently some others have expressed interest in joining the group, she said.
Frankie’s Mission is a non-profit organization in Fort Scott.
“We help the homeless and less fortunate,” said Vickie Crow. “We pass out food, hygiene items, clothes, etc. We recently set up at the pavilion and handed out sack lunches and hygiene supplies . The photos I sent are of dinners we have had. We do things to raise money to do this stuff.”
A free-will donation yard sale to benefit the mission will be held on July 31 to August 1 from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. Donations for the sale are accepted.
The yard sale will be at 2403 Jayhawk.
