Last year we sent off 101 boxes and it would be great if we could send at least 100 boxes again this year. Imagine the excitement of the children who will receive these wonderful gifts.
We will be collecting different items at each Sunday Service at 10.00 am.
I have listed below what we would like to collect with dates. Please bring your items to Church and put them in the collection crate. Remember to keep the items small as we are limited by the size of the box. Thank you for your willingness to share in this.
