Service Project - Providing Comfort & Joy
The Evening Meeting is suggesting and developing service project for the club - bags of comfort and joy for children in crisis. We are working to find a connection through CASA, CPS and/or Police department.
Please collect as many as possible of the items below, or any other children’s items that would fit in a mid-sized bag. Items must be new, non-violent, and non-denominational. No food or candy, please. We are targeting two age groups - "12 and under" and "over 12."
Here’s a list of suggestions to get you started:
- Stuffed animals
- Coloring books & crayons
- Small toys for all ages
- School supplies and stationery
- Small toiletries: travel-size toothbrush/toothpaste, hotel soap and shampoo etc
- Items for teens/tweens: games, young-adult books, deodorant, makeup, trading cards
- Baby Stuff – rattles, pacifiers, bibs, diapers, baby clothes
- Books, journals or diaries
- Clothing of all kinds – t-shirts, baseball hats, knit caps, scarves, socks, shoes, underwear
- Hand held games
- Small photo albums
- Children love handcrafted items, too
