As always if you need a receipt for your charitable donation, please let me know.
This is a great opportunity to get your children involved in community service. They can host a mini-drive with their family, friends and youth groups. We are asking all our members to help with this drive by either donating supplies or telling your friends and families. Spread the word. Get your church involved, get your work involved. Ask your boss if you could collect supplies in your work place. You will be amazed how many people will donate to this cause. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.
The deadline to donate supplies is August 7th, however, we will take supplies in after that date if you haven't ended your collection. I will arrange a day to sort and bag the supplies on the following weekend. I will forward more information regarding the location and time for sorting as soon as I have it available. If you would like to help sort and bag, please let me know. Your help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance for your donations.
