Humanitarian Project for March

Guess what? March is Red Cross Month so we’ve decided to work with them to send Easter packages to the soldiers overseas. So we are just having evening Humanitarian Services on Thursday March 11 at 7 p.m. at the church. There will be no morning session.


So what are putting in these care packages? All the necessities…

•  Cookies and treats, store bought or homemade (we’ll provide ideas on Sunday for storage on homemade cookies)
•  Easter decorations! Be creative! Our contact at the Red Cross has been over to Afghanistan to help and she said that these little pieces of home really lift the soldiers’ spirit.
•  Letters of encouragement. We would love it if you want to write a short letter as a family, but we will also have paper available on Thursday night if you want to write a quick note too.

- If you are able, we’re also requesting $1-2 donations to help offset the cost of shipping. A flat rate box costs $12 but then we can stuff it as full as we want without being concerned about weight.

We would like to get a rough estimate of how many boxes we will need. Would you please e-mail Kristen Cornelsen at erikandkristen@gmail.com to let us know what you plan to put in these packages? There will also be a sign up sheet passed around on Sunday.

Thank you!
