Easter Baskets for Love - Year 3

Happiest of New Years to all of you!  I hope it brought peace, love and harmony to you and yours. 

Many of our be4good project members suffered through colds and the flu throughout the end of 2012, but we are hopeful for a healthier new year!

We have made some decisions about our annual projects going forward and have chosen four to do every year.  (Of course, when things come up from time to time, we will help where needed.)

Our four projects will be:
  • Easter Baskets for Love
  • Appalachian Mountain supplies/clothing project
  • Thanksgiving at MUST shelter
  • Christmas Stockings for the shelter/homeless children.
Our first project is starting now.  Although Easter seems a long way off, preparing for it takes time.  We are getting started now to see if we can get most of our supplies before March 2nd.  It takes hours to assemble baskets and wrap them - and the earlier we have our donations, the better.  This year we would like those who wish to participate to choose from the price lists below in order to have every basket filled with all the items we think are necessary.  You can choose to buy one or more of the item groups below.  All I need is your commitment to the NUMBER(S) listed.  Here are the items we need:

Once you decide which one(s) you wish to purchase, email us at thebe4goodproject@gmail.com and we will confirm the arrangements to get them to our be4goodproject location in Roswell. Our deadline for all donations is Saturday, March 2.  Items can be dropped off or shipped.  More information will be provided in our response email.

We really appreciate all of the continued help we get from our family, friends and our community.  It is a positive message to support those in need, and we are blessed and grateful for all you do for our project.  (As in previous events, if you are in need of a tax deductible receipt, we will get MUST to provide us with one.  I will need your name, address and list of items you donate in order to provide you with the receipt.)  For those not familiar with thebe4goodproject, you can either go to the beginning of our blog to read our story or know that we are NOT a non-profit organization.  We are a small group of people who share the same goal - to spread peace, love and harmony one person at a time).

Please feel free to email us with any questions or concerns, and as always, be4good!
