I will bring them on Sunday morning and give them to you before we leave. CANNED FOOD DRIVE: Non-perishable food items will be collected the week that we are in Williamsburg. You can bring the items on Sunday morning. Since we will be gone, you can also bring them the Monday after the trip. We are trying to keep a running total, so please count the number of items that you are bringing. If we reach our goal of 2,500 containers/cans/packages, then the students can donate their shoes to the Soles for Souls and have a shoe break the rest of the year. All canned food items are appreciated, but they really need the following items: canned tuna, canned meats, soups, canned juices, small bags of sugar (5 lbs.), canned spaghetti sauce, pasta, family-size peanut butter, jelly, bath soap, deodorant, and diapers (sizes 2-5). PLEASE DO NOT BRING ANYTHING THAT IS IN A GLASS CONTAINER!!! |
