Care Package for Brittany


Okay all! Let's show Brittany that we miss her and support her work in the Ukraine by sending a care package her way. Let's show her that God does provide through the love and support of a Church family as well as family and friends. Let's show her we're thinking of her and wish her well. We know that while she is over there with the Peace Corp she will be able to touch the lives of others not just educationally but spiritually. Let's show her new family there that she has lots of love and support from home and what a Church family can do when they work together! Let's send her some LOVE!

Here is a list of things Brittany could use to support her work in the Ukraine:

Teaching things:
Poster Putty
EXPO brand white board markers
Super-Sticky Post-It notes (all sizes, any color)
grocery store ads
magazines with pics of: Food, Sports, Clothes, kids stuff, etc.
any "learning English" book with pictures
Crayola markers
Simplified English dictionary for English/young learners
Stickers
Any American candy that kids might like (starburst, tootsie rolls)
Movies to show to my students in the English club (Disney, family movies)

Personal Items:
Cheese-itz
Any good recipes
Parmesan cheese
Beef Jerky
Goldfish crackers
Chocolate Chips
Brown sugar
Slide-Lock Ziploc bags, gallon size
Bath & Body Works hand soap (any great scent)
B&BW Coconut Lime Verbena (lotion, body wash, body spray)
Good smelling candles
Mr. Clean Magic Eraser
Shout wipes
hand sanitizer
hand wipes individually wrapped so I can take them to school with me
Good books you think I might enjoy
Any new/old movies (DVD)


Anything American you think she might like to have or share!

Just take this list with you the next time you go to the grocery store and pick up a little something for our sister overseas! If you cannot provide an item above, don't feel bad! You can offer love and prayers and send her a letter of encouragement. Please bring letters and goods to Church on Sunday and give them to Jeff or Michelle. If it's easier to bring money and have us purchase the above items we can do that too! We will also have a drop box in the lobby. If you could please also include $1 to help with shipping that would be a big help...as you can imagine it gets expensive when shipping boxes overseas! We are so excited about this! Let's have all the goods by Sunday, March 11th so we can ship it out to the Ukraine!
Also, if you can - post in the comments here what you are planning to to get Brittany so others can see what you are committing to get, that way they can get something else. Thanks!
