I am sending a special thank you our members who have already donated the many contributions to the 2018 Shoebox Project. I am happy to say that we have already collected sufficient Tooth brushes, soap, cosmetic bags and Kleenex purse size packages to fill the 50 shoe boxes target. Some beautiful scarves and knitted items will star in someone’s box. We have also collected sufficient items to fill the needs for tooth paste and dental supplies but do hope to collect more: cough drops, hand lotions, combs and brushes, deodorant containers, CHOCOLATE (large bars or small boxes), and warm clothing for winter (such as scarves, hats). Some fun items such as coloured pencils, markers, jewellery, note books and memory sticks would be welcome.
We currently have about 20 shoe boxes and expect about 15-20 more from local shoe stores. If anyone knows where we can purchase suitable boxes or can supply a few more boxes please let me know.
For those of you that were away or forgot.... the final collection for the Shoebox Project will be held November 5 at the General Meeting. At the November meeting I will also be asking for volunteers to help decorate and fill the boxes. The boxes will be delivered to the Mississauga ShoeBox Project Team who will deliver the boxes to women and children in shelters for the holidays.
Thank you
Carol Hare, CFUW Mississauga
