Our next big Outreach Event is just around the corner, Operation Christmas Child Packing Party on October 17th. Remember the table that packs the most boxes will win a fabulous giftcard to be applied to a Moms Night Out Celebration!
This meeting falls during many our school's fall breaks, so we would like extend the invitation to your school aged kiddos. Please feel free to bring your school-aged kids to help pack boxes. What a great opportunity to show your children the importance and joy in giving!
We hope you all have started brainstorming and list making for your boxes, but if you need some ideas here are some good starters.
Plastic shoe-boxes with lids
Stationary, pens, markers, crayons, pencils, pencil sharpeners
Small new toys from Happy Meals, cars, yo-yo's, puzzles, play jewelry, dolls
Washcloth, soap, toothpaste, toothbrush, hair-care (brushes/combs/hair ties), kleenex
Socks, shirts, hats, flip-flops, underwear
Hard-candies, lolli-pops, chewing gum
Remember! No war related toys or items, no liquids or gels, no food.
It cost approximently $7 to ship a box to a child in need. Please consider asking your friends and family to sponsor a box or two.
