Hey friends,
Some of you may already know that Taylor and I volunteer at a Retirement Center a couple of times a week. There, they have Activities such as worship, Bingo, Card Games and we are now starting a Bible Study. When they attend such activities they receive “Bucks” to spend at their weekly auction. However; their auction prizes consist of boxes of Kleenexes, Toilet Paper, and other non motivating items.
My goal is to get people to donate some items from around their home that are just going to waste. Ideas are lotions, socks, flashlights, cologne, candles, bibles, books, gift cards, bag of candy, DVDs, blankets, earrings, really anything!! I’ve gathered over 20 things from my own home that I have never even used!
I feel that if we could improve the auction items it would be a better incentive for them to attend these activities. This means more people hearing about God’s Love, which is the ultimate goal! I'm so excited to love on these elderly people like He loves on us.
I would greatly appreciate it if you had anything you could donate for this cause. Please contact me if you do!
Together we can help prepare others for His Kingdom.
Awww Tiffany, what a wonderful idea! Would you be able to use cards? Like greeting cards? I make them and have some that I probably won't use (I made them a couple years ago and my style has changed a bit). If you think it's something they would use, I'd be happy to send them to you.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I'm sorry I just now saw this! I think they would love them! Thanks so much Tanya!! Together WE can make a difference. :)
