Dexter, Missouri - The ShowMe Times continues to support two amazing teenagers in Dexter, Missouri, Jacob Robinson and Alexis Smith. 

We published an article earlier this year of how "Two People With One Goal" were able to create a beautiful collaboration between a community and those that needed their help.  They established "End Poverty in Stoddard County" and decided, as their first commitment to the community was to host a Coat Drive.

"End Poverty in Stoddard County" has started a new project in our area.  They will be collecting items needed by the Stoddard County Children's Home.

These items include canned goods and other non-perishable food items, boys and girls clothing sizes 4-8, boys and girls shoes sizes 2-3, and children size coats, jackets, gloves, hats and scarves.  These items are what they need, however they will collect other items you would like to donate.

You may drop these items  off at the Poplar Bluff Regional Medical Center in Dexter, the T.S. Hill Middle School Library or contact Alexis Smith at 573-820-5699 or Jacob Robinson at 573-552-2108.  These two amazing students will even pick up your donations.

They will be collecting from now until November 1st and then deliver to the children's home on November 2nd.

It's truly amazing how two Dexter High School Students can do so much in such a short period of time.  The Stoddard County community is very proud of Alexis Smith and Jacob Robinson.  They proved that they are truly "two people with one goal".

Join the fight to end poverty in Stoddard County.  Any donations are appreciated.  To find out what their next community project will be or for more information about this new organization, "End Poverty in Stoddard County", they have established a website, www.endpovertystoddardcounty.com and a Facebook page.
