~Happy Holidays Everyone~
It's that time of the year again, a time for giving, a time to think of those less fortunate and a time to make a difference. Our very first “Christmas Angels Handout” and it was amazing! Not only did we collect tons of donations but we had so many wonderful volunteers that helped prepare the "Goodie Bags" and help pass out. I hope this year we can make it even more of a success.
Last year we were able to raise $700 through our PayPal account in which we were able to buy $300 in Jack in the box cash (60 gift cards), 10 Blankets, $150 in supplies from The Dollar Tree, $170 in supplies at Wal-Mart, 10 Umbrellas, 10 calling cards, 3lbs of fudge, 2 dozen cupcakes & 4 dozen cookies and we collected 7 bags of warm clothing!
This year, I am going to do everything in my power to spread the word in hopes that we beat our numbers from last year.
I'm talking; sending flyers out, posting it on every social network outlet I can think of, emailing/calling, contacting local grocery stores for donations…
I may even try and get our story on the news J
So what I need all of you to do is Volunteer.
The date hasn't been set yet as I'm still trying to coordinate it with everyone- but even if you aren't able to physically pass things out with us- you can still help by; spreading the word, donating monetarily or helping to collect and organize donations.
Just like last year, we’re going to need:
-Bakers
-Wrappers
-Drivers
-Runners
-Donation Collectors
-Chaperones (Guys that are buff) J
-& a Volunteer Photographer
Please email me ASAP if you are interested in participating in any way.
The more the merrier! Mrscandacepierce@gmail.com
