Please note that we do NOT want cash donations or anyone to purchase any new decorations.
If you have an extra set of lights, a Christmas stocking, a tree etc., please bring to either luncheon OR you can drop off at Lynn Teeling’s at 12212 Pepperidge Ave.

To All
Last month I sent a recap of Donna Gardner's Community Outreach meeting with a list of the upcoming projects and said
I would get back to all of you with more details as the projects begin to rollout.
This email is about the Birthday Boxes for the children of domestic violence that are currently in
protective shelters or in protective transitional housing with Friends of the Family.
Birthday boxes help take the pressure off of moms and make their children feel special on their birthday.
I have included detailed information on what is included in a box and how to participate in this program below.
I am gathering names of those that want to volunteer for this program and will then have a short meeting to show you a sample completed birthday box and pass out already donated items for the boxes.
This is a great way to get your friends and neighbors together to help you shop to fill a birthday box(es)
(average cost is $20 with items from Dollar Tree, etc).
We are setting a deadline of August 1st to have all Birthday Boxes gathered and delivered in time
for August birthdays at the Friends of the Family shelters and transitional housing.
Note: If you don't have time to shop, a cash donation is also accepted and we will shop for you to fill a box.
1. Need are 10 boxes for each age group listed below:
Age Group 1-5 (5 girls; 5 boys)
Age Group 5-10 (5 girls; 5 boys)
Age Group 10-13 (5 girls; 5 boys)
Age Group 13-18 (5 girls; 5 boys)
2. What goes in a Birthday Box:
1 box cake mix, 1 jar frosting, box of sprinkles or a cake topper
2 square foil cake pans, set of cake plates, napkins, cups, forks
Party decor such as bag of balloons, streamers, party horns etc
1 can of Sprite (this is used if the mother does not have eggs or oil as called for on cake box)
1 gift card to help the mom buy pizza or a gift for their child
3. What has already been donated:
40 white boxes labeled by age group and gender
40 cake mixes
40 cans of Sprite
40 gift cards)
I will give you these items to get you started.
You and your team/friends would provide the other items to fill the boxes (approximately cost $20 per box)
Please send me your information so I can set aside the number of boxes you want to fill and your preferred age group/gender.
Or drop a cash donation to have us fill a box for you under my door mat at 12212 Pepperidge Ave.
If the age group/gender does not matter to you, I will assign you to a group once we have all
our volunteers for this program lined up. If you have any questions, let me know.
Also, Friends of the Family will be our charity of the month at the June 5th Women's Club luncheon.
If you want more information about this program, they will be there to answer all questions.
Thanks for all you wonderful ladies do to make life a little easier on these families
who are experiencing living in protective custody due to domestic violence.
