Our “Lifesavers” Outreach Day is coming! At our next meeting
on April 9, we will be collecting toiletries and organizing them into Welcome
Kits for the Emergency Family Assistance Association (www.efaa.org).
These kits will be distributed to single and 2-parent
families with children who seek temporary housing at one of 3 shelters within Boulder
County. Families are allowed to
stay in the shelter for up to two months while they work with volunteers to get
their finances in order. When I spoke to a representative at efaa last week,
she mentioned that there is always a steady stream of families seeking this
temporary assistance, and the Welcome Kits are very much appreciated!
Full sizes of the following items are requested:
- Shampoo / conditioner
- Deodorant
- Soap
- Toothbrush / toothpaste
- Razor
- Lotion
Child-specific items are also requested:
- Shampoo / conditioner
- Detangler
- Soap
- Lotion
- Comb / hair ties
If you want to bring in a completed kit, great! If you have
lots of one item to bring in (e.g., a Costco sized package of disposable
razors), that’s great too! And, if you prefer to make a Welcome Kit with
child-specific items, that would be awesome.
We will also work on a craft at our MOPS meeting. We will be
creating a “deck” of motivational cards. I will have a lot of pre-printed
motivational quotes for you to cut out, and I will also have some blank cards.
So, if you have a favorite quote or Bible passage to share, please bring it
with you!
See you on Tuesday!
