ASSISTANCE LEAGUE CRAFT COLLECTION DRIVE FOR CHARLOTTE MECKLENBURG SCHOOL SYSTEM HOMELESS CLOSET
When: April 1 to April 15
To benefit the approximately 5,000 homeless children who live in emergency shelters, cars, campgrounds or temporary housing like hotels.
How YOU can HELP -
You can purchase the following suggested list of items that will be bundled into craft kits:
coloring books; crayons; pencils (colored and regular); colored markers; paint sets; paper (regular and construction); notebooks; diaries; scissors (safety); sticker books; small games; card games; small cars and trucks; action figures; Disney princesses or figures; Barbie dolls; Play Doh; and yo-yos.
Let your imagination, your children and grandchildren be your guide in deciding what fun things could entertain these children this summer.
We are hoping to make 120 kits, some for boys, some for girls, both young (grammar school) and older (teenagers). On Wednesday, April 16, we will package the kits in nylon drawstring bags for distribution by Assistance League volunteers.
You can deliver the purchased items to:
Marie Shea - 9150 Beaver Brook Way, Charlotte, NC 28277
Ph 704-408-7303
If you order from Amazon, simply put Marie Shea's address in the shipping column and they will deliver it to her home.
Thank you to all who choose to support this cause!
