Gift Boxes For The Children Of Haiti

 While you're out, will you pick up some items for the Christmas Gift Boxes that we're sending to Haiti?

 

On November 20sth we'll be sending gift boxes out as part of the Samaritan's Purse's Operation Christmas Child project.  Our kids are filling 10-15  shoe boxes with gifts for impoverished children.  Dolls are especially valued by little girls.  We're expecting to send half to girls and half to boys.

 

Other good gift items include:

 

TOYS:

small cars

balls

stuffed animals

small Etch-a-sketch

slinky

toys that light up or make noise (with extra batteries)

nothing war-related

 

SCHOOL SUPPLIES:

pens, pencils and sharpener, crayons or marker, stamps and ink pad sets, writing pads or paper, solar calculators, coloring and picture books, etc.

 

HYGIENE ITEMS: toothbrushes, mild bar soap, comb, washcloths

 

OTHER: hard candy (nothing that melts or is out of date), sunglasses, mints, gum, t-shirts, socks, ball caps, hair clips, toy jewerly, watches, flashlights with extra batteries, etc.

 

Caution:  nothing that's breakable or liquid, though, and no aerosol cans because of leakage and maiing restrictions.  Please don't send vitamins or medications.  Thanks!
