Christmas 365
Operation Christmas Child
Collection
We will still collect coloring books. We are anticipating that our need will be 1,200 - 1,500 coloring books that are geared more towards kids aged 10 - 14. We have found that a few local stores, including Dollar Tree and Hobby Lobby, tend to have adult coloring books (that is more intricate designs) that are good options for our older kiddos. There is also a great set on Amazon that you can purchase HERE.
We also have some volunteer opportunities for those interested in:
-
Kit assembly - We have materials to provide for those who want to assist with putting different kits together from nail kits for girls to yahtzee kits and more. This can be done on your timeline, so let us know what you'd like to work on.
-
Simple sewing projects - If you love to sew, then let us know if you'd like to work on a few projects from sunglass pouches to roadway mats for hotwheels cars and more!
-
Colored plain t-shirts - We have about 60 colored plain t-shirts that we would love to embellish in different ways. From doing a heat transfer (this would be great for our Cricut users) or anyone who could turn them into cute dresses or even adding a raw edge applique...you name it! All ideas are welcomed on how to turn a plain t-shirt into something with "wow" factor.
Click HERE to contact Jean Plew and let her know of your interest among those crafty offerings - or to suggest ideas or applications.
As always, thank you for your involvement in helping Samaritan's Purse share the gospel with kids who have never heard it!
