Care Packages for the Homeless -- Up Date

I've been blessed by the cooperation from people with our drive! The hearts of Christians who want to do the Christlike thing to celebrate why He came is quite moving! There are people who do not attend our church who have contributed and some who have asked to help assemble the care packages with us next week. One of my friends with a visual impairment is chomping at the bit to help. She couldn't see well enough to add her own name so she called and told me what item she will donate. My SIS (Sister in Spirit) from Florida has sent several boxes from Amazon filled with several items including nail clippers, deodorant, sanitary pads, etc.

I've had a few calls from folks who cannot figure out the site at SignUp Genius but what they have done is called or texted to tell me what they'd like to sign up to bring and I add their names next to the items they volunteer to bring.
Some folks want to donate money. I'd prefer NOT to handle money at this time but perhaps next year when we do this BIGGER. I'd also prefer not to get money donated to YOU or from you. The focus of the drive will become ME shopping for you instead of YOU receiving your blessings from the sacrifice of effort in giving.

For the technologically impaired, I have viewed the list to see what slots are still available. These are items to concentrate on for donations or-- if you have been trying to decide up to now-- fill yourself:

• 2 pr gloves -- 24 slots
• 3 boxes of 8-10 ct granola bars -- 6 slots
• peanut butter/cheese cracker snacks -- 1 slot
• a box of band-aids -- 3 slots
• 3 boxes quart-sized zip-lock storage bags -- 2 slots
• 1-3 pk chapsticks -- 14 slots
• 2 large bags of trail mix -- 6 slots

Remember: 
At our meeting on December 10, we will assemble the packs while we enjoy our potluck. We will also have our prayer circle. 
Go on line or call 225 588 7576 to get your tickets ordered for the New Venture Theater's production of Black Nativity--the December 14 showing at 7PM.

Two more requests. You know what they are:

1. On the computer view of this site you will see a box to type in your email address in the right side bar. Do that and get a notice every time this site is updated. --->
2.  Forward this message to your contact list... and tell someone who has no email or cell phone.
