Candy Packages for Military
You are all already very generous, so we’re reticent to start asking so far ahead of the end-of-November packages – but if you are looking for a good home for your remaining Halloween candy, we have just the place for it! For our end-of-November packages, we have asked one of our contacts to try to find names/addresses of at least eight young, deployed recruits who don’t usually get much mail – and we will send each one a package directly, rather than sending the whole shipment to one person in the group – so each of them will get a package specifically for them. We like to make the box contents as similar to each other as possible, so miniature candies fit the bill perfectly, along with all the other wonderful things you furnish on the last Sunday of each month. In addition to candy, if you have excess Christmas cards beyond what you’ll likely use this year or next, we could include a few cards too – some from us to them, and also unsigned ones that they could use to send Christmas greetings. It’s difficult for them to shop!
Since it is not time for the collection yet, you could place any leftovers in the box in the narthex, near the grouping of comfy chairs. There is always a box there marked
Military Packages Collection
. We will check that periodically. Thank you so very much!
