Operation: Leftovers

Everyone finds themselves in the situation of having leftovers. What do we do with them. We stack them up and they take up space and remain unused until we forget about them and simply buy more.

Have you been to a hotel lately and have a stock pile of leftover shampoo, conditioner, soap, body watch? Have you been to the dentist and been given samples you didnt like or havent used of toothpaste, toothbrushes and floss? I know you have. I have about 10 flosses unopened from the last visits from my whole family.

You can join us in Operation: Leftovers and and spend no more than just a small package sent by mail to us! Probably wouldnt cost more than $5 bucks and you dont have to buy any items to send even.

Please send any of those unopened and unused items like shampoo, soap, body wash, toothpaste, floss, toothbrushes etc. Clothing is ok as well we can send that on as well!

Operation: Love Update

Operation: Love was the effort of a few people who decided to ask people for Valentines to send to orphans in Haiti, China, Uganda, Ghana. At first it was slow in the response but soon we had people telling us they were sending, people from churches giving some, friends and family in may different states and people we didnt even know! They are store bought and even some hand made. We are grateful for every last one!

If you have given THANK YOU so much. If you have yet to give please get them mailed by the end of the month and also leave a comment here or on facebook page telling us you are sending so we can make sure to include them in our shipments.

Thank you again. We are touched by your consideration, time given/sacrifice and care you have taken to make and send these!
