they are out there. In the foyer you may have noticed a shoe box already
with some suggested items these include:
Sun tan lotion, Haribo sweets – no chocolate ,it melts!! Razors
and shaving / shower products, Toothpaste
There should be no glass bottles nor aerosols.
I am hoping to persuade the Sunday School to pack up a box, would you like to either bring any items or a packed box? and then I will deliver to the collection point. I would like to take in after Sunday 18 May.
