Items requested are sheets, pillows, bedding, men's clothing, socks and toiletries.
Many persons will travel to the various cities and then go and purchase items once they get there. Washington welcomes this approach, especially for those who fly to the convention.

National Laymen Male Chorus to Make Their Second Appearance at Kansas City Convention
Kansas City, MO -- President Simmons had a desire to revive the Male Chorus ministry for the laymen. He sought out Dr.Ken Harris of Arkadelphia, AR who has been a laymen supporter for years.

Therefore, president Simmons knew who to call on to lead his vision of a national male chorus. Simmons has been traveling around the country recruiting and making appeals for men to join the male chorus.
The male chorus made their inaugural debut in Memphis, Tennessee during the National Baptist Convention Annual Session. They will now make their second appearance in Kansas City and sing during the various laymen services.
