We will continue to collect scraps and make pet beds for local animal shelters

One of our projects this year will be *Operation Christmas Child.

Items are to be placed in a plastic shoebox (not Dollar Tree as they break in shipping ). Some things that could be included are as follows:

Hairbrush, hair bow

Doll that will fit in box

Bandana, comb, sunglasses 

Hacky sack, checkers, dominoes, small game

Soap and washcloth in baggie 

Small stuffed animal

Play car, truck, yo-yo

Crayons, colored pencils with sharpener

Toothbrush 

Small sewing kit

 Calculator w extra batteries (or solar powered)

 

Operation Christmas Child is a service of Samaritan's Purse, an organization led by Franklin Graham (son of Evangelist Billy Graham), that takes donated Christmas boxes of gifts to those in need around the world, who would otherwise receive nothing for Christmas.  Complete information is available on their website:    Operation Christmas Child | Shoebox Outreach of Samaritan’s Purse (samaritanspurse.org)    

​Samaritan's Purse asks for a donation of $10 PER BOX for shipping.
