Service Project #2

Dear parents,
Here at HomeLink we have a very exciting opportunity to help out the Tri-Cities Animal Shelter this month. The Leadership Class along with Haley and Cami Softich is collecting donations to help provide some Holiday Cheer to these animals who are awaiting homes!

We have a need for a few parent volunteers to work three activities:
1. A donut sale for Monday, December 7th. I will be bringing in the donuts but need a parent to collect money from say 8am-9am in the cafeteria.
2. A pizza sale for Thursday, December 10th. We will be having Pizza Pipeline pizza and the kids can buy by the slice. I need parents to help serve and collect from 10:20 to 11am.


The other volunteers would be possibly before school to hand out tickets to those that bring in items. I have 32 Tri-City American tickets donated and for each item brought in the student receives a ticket into a drawing for FOUR tickets to a Hockey Game in January. The drawing for these tickets will be at our Student Assembly on December 17th. That will be the last day to donate as well.

Items that can be donated are:
UPDATE: The shelter desperately needs new or used garden hoses
Dry and canned kitten & puppy food
Cat liter
Cat boxes (all sizes & styles)
Canned food for all ages of dogs & cats

Toys for cats, kittens, dogs and cats

FOR

SOUTHSIDE*

Our yearly Christmas project is in the early planning stages – will you help us with your donation of gifts, time, or cash?

Each year, the Fireside Room is transformed into “Christmas Gift Central” for the students of our neighboring school, River’s Edge Alternative School. We provide gifts for the 209 students (free of charge) to select for their immediate families to open during their family Christmas celebrations. For many of these students, this is the first time they have been able to give a gift to their loved ones. It has been a real blessing for us to watch them try to understand why their needs would be met in this way by complete strangers. Providing an opportunity for students to “give back” to someone else is a great way for them to experience the joy of giving.

To make all this happen, we need your donations:
• Unwrapped NEW gifts of all types: for moms and dads, and brothers and sisters of all age ranges
• Wrapping paper, gift bags, tape, ribbons and bows
• Your presence in helping the students select gifts and then wrap them

*Donations accepted any time in church office*

Go Mustangs!
