Greetings!

Help us collect the care items for our annual Stockings for Soldiers campaign in support of our troops deployed and away from their homes this holiday season.

We will send stockings to your military loved one if you provide us with a name and current mailing address. Many of the addresses we have are out of date so please contact Betty Matthews, 972.727.5836, by Sunday, October 31, so that your loved one can be included.

Shop for the care items listed below and bring them to the church from October 17 through October 31. We have labeled bins in the atrium where you can leave your donations.

You can also order items directly from our Amazon wish list, and your gifts will be delivered right to the church.

SUGGESTED ITEMS
  • Nuts, trail mix, snack crackers, energy bars
  • Beef jerky
  • Peanut butter crackers
  • Small individual cans of tuna or Pringles® chips
  • Hard candies.
  • Packaged single serve coffee, tea, or hot chocolate
  • Drink mix singles
  • Pencils, pens
  • Small memo notebooks
  • Chapstick®
  • Toothbrushes
  • Toothpaste
  • Q-tips® cotton swabs
  • Small packs of Kleenex® or tissues
  • Small packages of wet wipes

We accept CASH DONATIONS to help pay for shipping costs. You can mail those to the church, drop donations on Sunday mornings, or bring by the church office, designated Military Stockings on your check or envelope.

We also welcome CHRISTMAS CARDS created by our children for our military to be included in the packages.

We'll stuff and package our stockings for shipment on Sunday, November 7, at 12:00pm in the gym. Watch for more details for that event coming later this month.
