Back Pack Angels
November-December
Back Pack Angels is a year long project with item collections every month. Items that are always needed include: tootpaste, toothbrush, comb, hairbrush, deoderant, bath soap, laundry soap and other personal hygene produtcs. Recipients include students and their families in North Port who have been verified needy and or homeless. Each donating group’s identity is made known so recipients know who donated the items.
Operation Christmas Child
October and November
Operation Christmas Child is sponsored by Samaritans Purse which distributes the shoeboxes filled with toys, hygiene items and school supplies internationally. We conduct this project annually. The children celebrating Christmas will also receive a child friendly Gospel booklet that illustrates Christ’s life, death, burial and resurrection. This year we packed 26 boxes along with $9 each for shipping.
