Memorial Day this Monday kicks off the unofficial start of summer and with that we turn our thoughts to summer vacation and helping our needy clients prepare their children for summer camp!  
We are starting to collect items for Summer Camp bags. These go out to children that receive scholarships to summer camp but do not have the resources to buy the items they are required to bring. We are currently in need of duffel bags, beach towels, sunscreen, bug spray, flip flops and shampoo. We welcome any help you can give us to assist our clients in having a safe and healthy summer. If shopping isn't convenient you can follow the link below to donate online and we will purchase the supplies for you. If you prefer to do your shopping online you could order direct from Amazon or any other online retailer and have the item shipped to us at the warehouse. 
Yard Sale
 
Mark your calendar for Saturday, June 10th 9am-1pm. Wilmington United Methodist Church will be holding a yard sale on the Church lawn and there will be a table to benefit The Wish Project. Stop by and say Thank you to Betsy and her helpers for all they do to make this a successful fundraiser for us every year. No early birds!
