Items to get

This page will be updated as often as possible so you know what the current needs are.  

Donating Shoebox Items - We are in need of a lot more of these items: hygiene products (tooth brushes, soap, face cloths, nail clippers, combs, etc), pencils, sharpeners and erasers and small craft kits.  Please bring them if you can!

• We need a great deal more WOW items.  Each box gets a "Wow" item.  It's the item that is super awesome and exciting that would bring great joy to the child recieving it.  It's great to have a box filled with supplies and goods, but there should be at least one wow super item for each box and child.  Here are some ideas of what those can be:

  Harmonica
  Yo-yo
  Solar calculator
  Jump rope
  Binoculars
  Compass
  Garden gloves and trowel
  Magnets
  Christmas beads
  Flash lights with batteries
  Small tools
  Cool toys
  Toy cars
  Sunglasses 
  Deflated ball & pump
  Outfit of clothes

 

If you have a ministry or group that wants to commit to collecting 400 boxes worth of these items, please contact Pastor Matt.

Suggestions on where to get supplies

• Dollar Tree tends to be an inexpensive place comapred to most other dollar stores.  Some other locations like Staples and Wal-Mart have bargains as well for some items especially when sales are on. 
• Online retailers (Amazon, Aliexpress) sometimes has great deals for bulk volumes of items which costs less than retail.  
• Like-new and new items in your homes will be accepted.  Do not donate used and dirty items.
• Crafts from us that are made for them.
• Craft sets packaged by us for kids to make.
