Here!It’s that time of year again! The weather is turning cold outside. (Well, for most of us anyway.) And we are getting closer to the holidays. We are so fortunate to be able to live with a roof over our heads, and good food to eat. But what about the less fortunate? We cant forget about them! Okay. I am happy to present to you, (drumroll please!)…samaritans purse! What is this? okay I will explain this.
1)Shoe Box
Use an empty shoe box (standard size, please) or a small plastic container. You can wrap the box (lid separately), but wrapping is not required.
2)BOY OR GIRL?
Determine whether your gift will be for a boy or a girl, and the child’s age category: 2-4, 5-9, or 10-14. Print out the appropriate boy/girl label shown below. Mark the correct age category on the label, and tape the label to the top of your box.
3)Fill With Gifts
Fill the box with a variety of gifts that will bring delight to a child.
PLEASE CONSIDER DOING THIS! It is enexpensive, and the best part is, you can knit items to put in your box too! Here is an easy hat pattern you could put in. http://www.bevscountrycottage.com/bevsbasichat.html
