Wow, I am completely overwhelmed with the support we have gotten from the community in only 4 days! We have reached $40, or 20% of our $200 goal! With this forty dollars, almost three complete care-packages can be made and delivered to the homeless.
Let's talk about these care-packages, shall we? Each care package will consist of a sturdy, warm pair socks and essential travel sized toiletries such as toothbrushes, toothpaste, shampoo, conditioner, deodorant, razors, and shaving cream! The possibilities truly are endless. The idea was found here and I am so thankful that we found it and decided to embark on this sock-stuffing journey. It's almost like Christmas, right!?
Right. The game plan thus far is to get 100% (if not more) funded and then purchase supplies to make the care-packages. After the supplies have been gathered, we will sit down as a club and put them together. This will likely take place in September! We plan to deliver the care-packages to a homeless shelter in Topeka and serve a meal. This will give us the opportunity to connect with the people in the shelter, as well as serve them and build our strength as leaders and service workers.
The $200 goal allows for about thirteen care-packages to be made. Each package should cost around $15 dollars (if not more). We are so excited that the community is getting involved and we can't wait to share more information and campaign progress with our supporters and donors! A huge shout-out goes to our sponsor, Mrs. Bartel, for being on board with all of our decisions and to all the donors and supporters we have and have yet to get! You are all super-fantastic!!
