SIKESTON -- For the past two and a half years, the rooms of Marilyn Hull's home have looked more like the aisles of a grocery store with shelves lined with shampoo, body wash, toothpaste and hundreds of other personal hygiene and household cleaning items.
The items aren't for Hull's personal use; they will end up being given to low-income senior citizens and families struck by loss through the charity Hull founded, Laundry Baskets Full of Love.
Since starting in September 2011, the Sikeston-based charity now finds itself in need of a building where it can continue to help "deliver God's love, one laundry basket at a time" to area residents in need.
"As a charity that doesn't receive any government or corporate support, LBFOL doesn't have a regular monthly income so our options are very limited," she said. "We're hoping to find someone who has an unused building that is sitting empty who is willing to allow us to operate from there.
Currently, one room in Hull's home is full of items from the floor to the ceiling and one side of her garage is also full of supplies for LBFOL.
