MISSION OF HOPE
CHRISTMAS 2016 BARREL COLLECTION
FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 18 - MONDAY, DECEMBER 5 THIS YEAR, MORE THAN EVER...WE NEED YOUR HELP!
Most of us are blessed every day with warm homes, warm clothes, plenty of food, and employment to provide for our needs. Yet there are many people who live in rural areas that are struggling to provide even the basic necessities for their children each day. Most of these people want to work and provide for their families in the way many of us take for granted. However, their community is overwhelmed with extreme poverty. This will be the 21st year for our Christmas Campaign. From our first campaign helping 150 children in 1996; we are preparing to help over 18,000 children and their families this year with food, hygiene, new clothing and new toys. Our 2016 Christmas Campaign Blue Barrel Collections begin on Friday, November 18 and continue through Monday, December 5. Please see the back of flyer for needs and suggestions. VOLUNTEERS ARE ALSO NEEDED IN THE FOLLOWING TASKS: Office Barrel Pick Up Warehouse Workers Administrative Help Sorting & Packing Various other tasks Truck Loaders Pick Up Drivers
