Supplies for Liberia

"A significant part of our June missions trip to Liberia involves taking 1600 pounds worth of supplies for the kids who are either at the Daniel Hoover Children’s Village, the Mission for Deaf Children or in foster care waiting to come home to their adoptive families. As you’ll see from the sign up list, there’s a lot that we need. Would you be interested in collecting a little bit of it?

There are many ways to do this. Maybe you would like to purchase a couple packs of underwear and send them in. Maybe your Sunday school class would like to collect bars of soap or lotion. Maybe one of your kids is having a birthday party and you’re tired of her receiving lots of little toys that are only used for a short time. Instead, you could ask the guests to bring flip flops for Liberia. You could even ask your dentist to donate toothbrushes or toothpaste!

You can send the supplies to Christian Adoption Services (Attn: Angel Rutledge 624 Matthews Mint Hill Rd, Suite 134, Matthews, NC 28105). Just make sure you sign up on the list, so we know what’s coming and don’t end up with too much or too little of anything." Check out the video via the link below to see how the supplies that were collected last year were dispersed. A fun part is seeing how excited the kids were after receiving their balls with the elastic straps attached to their wrists. Please make sure to send everything by May 15th, so we have time to get everything sorted, accounted for and packed. It will also help us figure out where we still have gaps to fill in. Thanks!" (most of this is a quote from Angel's blog)
