Red Bird Mission
Our monthly mission work is for the Red Bird Mission. Below is the list of what they need. All donations are needed by November 10th. Items may be put in the room outside the church office.
You can fill an adult or child shoebox. It’s suggested to use clear plastic shoebox- sized storage containers with locking lids but the same size cardboard boxes will work. Don’t wrap the boxes. A suggested donation is $1.50 per shoebox would help with its transport. Please don’t put the money inside the shoeboxes – put in an envelope and attach it to the shoebox.
Please clearly label each shoebox so they know who the intended recipient is for the items.
1- Items needed for the adult shoeboxes include: a comb or brush, shampoo, hand lotion, deodorant, a toothbrush and toothpaste, ChapStick, a full size bar of soap, a washcloth, disposable razors, shaving cream, nail care supplies, socks, a pair of work gloves or mittens, and a winter hat or scarf.
2- Items needed for children’s shoeboxes include: two or three small toys, two or three school items, a comb or brush, shampoo, hand lotion, a child’s toothbrush and toothpaste, chap stick, a bar of soap, a washcloth, a small flashlight, socks, a pair of mittens, and a winter hat.
They could also use new pillows, new sheet sets and new blankets for full and twin-size beds, as well as new bath towels. Don’t send used sheets, blankets, and towels. Books, school supplies, new backpacks and cleaning supplies are needed, as well.
Donations of money can be made payable to the Endwell United Methodist Church to help cover the cost of the truck rental, fuel, and lodging and meals for the volunteers who will deliver the shoeboxes and other donations to the Red Bird Mission in Kentucky the last week of November.
Operation Christmas Child
Samaritan’s Purse sends gift-filled Operation Christmas Child shoeboxes to children in need around the world together with the message of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. For children around the world, a shoebox is often their very first gift. Given together with the Good News of Jesus Christ, it communicates God’s love to a boy or girl in need. So, it is important to make sure your gift is…
FUN—includes a “wow” item and other quality toys
FULL—packed to the brim with additional school supplies and personal care items
PERSONALIZED—prayed over and contains a note and photo, which are often the child’s favorite items!
If you’d like to take a box, or two, they are in the dining room. There is packing information and labels in each box. Please have them returned by Friday, Nov 15th so they can be taken to the drop-off site the following Mon. Questions – see Jenn.
