Our special mission project for this week will be:
VBS Homeless Kits:
This year for the Crooked Creek Baptist Wilderness Escape
Vacation Bible School, we will be making sock kits to share with the
homeless. On the last day of Vacation
Bible School, children will have a chance to assemble these kits! But this can only happen with the right
supplies. To assemble these kits we are
looking to collect a variety of items that will all fit into one sock. Children and families are invited to help us
by bringing in these items where we will check them off each day until our goal
is reached. Here are the suggested items
we can use in these sock kits.
ALL of these items should be travel sized to insure they
will fit into a sock:
1.
40 bottles of shampoo
2.
40 sticks of deodorants (for men and women)
3.
40 bottles of hand sanitizer
4.
40 tubes of sunscreen
5.
40 packs of wet wipes/cleansing towels
6.
40 tubes of lip balm (Chapstick, etc..)
7.
40 packages of tissues (Kleenex)
8.
40 bottles of lotion
9.
40 bottles of mouthwash
10.
40 packs of toothbrush/toothpaste (Either
separate or packaged together)
11.
80 granola bars (please nothing more than
chocolate chips- think about what chocolate does in a hot car)
12.
80 small boxes of raisins
13.
40 individual packs of fruit (applesause, etc…)
14.
40 packs of chewing gum
Donations can be brought to the front of the sanctuary each
day and children will have a chance to mark off on our poster the items they
have brought in to donate.
Please note: after
these kits are assembled on Thursday, July 10 you will have an option of taking
a Homeless Sock Kit with you. The idea
for these kits is to share them with the homeless people that are so often
begging on street corners or in medians alongside the road. We advise you to use caution in sharing this
kit and ALWAYS make sure it is an adult who hands the sock kit out of the
window.
