Care Shoebox Appeal 2003
Well
actually it's a
FOODBOX appeal
this year!
After
a number of years of sending shoeboxes to Romania for Christmas
we have decided to do something different. We have thought and prayed
long and hard about this, and have decided instead of shoeboxes
to send out FOODBOXES for Christmas this year.
Working
with a Dutch organisation, we are able to send a box containing
the following to Romania for just £12.50 :
| 2kg
rice |
3kg
sugar |
2ltr
sunflower oil |
| 1
can beans |
2kg
macaroni noodles |
500g
margarine |
| 250g
dried soup |
500g
cocoa |
3kg
washing powder |
| 2
pieces soap |
1
bottle shampoo |
|
We know some of you have really enjoyed collecting
the bits and pieces to put into a shoe box. We are also aware that
some people have spent much more than £12.50 on items to put into
one! We do however feel that the food boxes will be of more use
to really poor families, and each family will receive the same -
the contents and value of a shoe box could be very different!
More
details about this new project will be available in early September
but in outline we will be asking you to send us a Christmas card
(we will tell you what to write in it), with £12.50, and we
will do the rest.
The
closing date will also be later than last year, probably mid to
late November.
