Sidewalk Sunday Stuffed Stockings
Toiletries Drive
Is traveling in your future?
Do you pack your own shampoo and soap?
Do you know that the motels and hotels across American supply all those wonderful personal size toiletries for your convenience?
The Missions and Outreach Committee wants you!
Bring home all those unopened individual bottles of shampoo, bars of soap, hand lotion, hair spray, shaving cream (leave the towels, robes and glasses please). Bring them to church and they will be put to good use.
Emergency Aid of Boulder City and United Methodist Social Missions will provide them to the people in need of these items. Often, their circumstances are not conducive to carrying the larger sizes of personal toiletries.
Not traveling? Still wish to help out? Most grocery and drug stores have a travel section with small-size toiletries. Pick up some personal-sized containers of soap, shampoo, shaving cream, toothpaste, deodorant...anything that will enhance the lifestyle of those less fortunate.
If you have any question, please contact Diane Hernandez at 294-0802
