Holiday Basics!

It's the end of November and the holidays are here again.  Our Thanksgiving support of MUST Ministries was great!  Special thanks to those who cooked and those who helped by funding some of the food...especially Christina Klejka, Jill Hewes, Jennifer Kenny, Stephanie Gale, Ryan Gale, Lily Atangcho, Patty Voyles, Kim Keene, Tim Burford, Patty Sammons, Susan Neal and Kathryn Gale.  We not only provided 8 large trays of mashed potatoes, 2 large trays of carrots, 2 large trays of peas and 3 gallons of gravy for the big Thanksgiving luncheon, but we also provided homemade lasagna, rolls, salad and brownies for the 60 shelter residents that evening!!! It was a huge success and the patrons loved our homemade food.  There is nothing that says love like homemade food.  Thanks again, everyone!

Our final events for the year include 20 boy stockings for the MUST shelter and New clothing for families in Owsley County, Kentucky (our out of state group we help throughout the year).  We really need help to fill these items as we only have two weeks to put it all together AND have it delivered.  Let me know what you can provide from the list below.  All items can be delivered to our be4good home by December 10th. 
All items requested need to be new. 

Stockings

First, the filled stockings will be dropped off at our project home in East Cobb or someone can meet you for pick up. We need a total of 20 filled stockings.  By emailing us, let us know how many stockings you wish to take care of - no number is too small or large.

Second, these stockings are for boys - please add small toys, for example: matchbox cars, dinosaurs, balls, toothbrush, toothpaste, candy (nothing with peanuts), candy cane, etc.  The project has plenty of lollipops so no need to add them.  Also, the age range is somewhere from 2-10 generally.

Please email us at thebe4goodproject@gmail.com to let us know how many you will make.  Stockings can be purchased for a couple of dollars.

Owsley County Outreach

We have 10 people to buy for this year.  We are not buying toys, only new clothing items and accessories.  This can be done one of two ways:  Pick a person and buy them the items listed and drop the items off at our East Cobb home OR buy and wrap each gift and ship directly to the Outreach in Owsley.  If you wish to mail directly, you will need to let us know when you email us so we can provide labeling information.  All wrapped gifts should have the name of the person on the gift.

Please choose by name and refer to their name when emailing us. Once done shopping, please provide list of purchased items so we can keep records for the director.

Making the holidays special for the children!

The holidays are creeping up quickly and our end of year projects are underway.  Our two biggest non-profit organizations will once again use our help to provide "a little extra" for the children.  Owsley County Outreach is in need of new clothing gifts for their toddlers and we will be making 20 boy stockings for MUST ministries.  Full details will be coming soon!

We still need a few trays of potatoes for Thanksgiving!  Email us at thebe4goodproject@gmail.com if you can help!

and as always, be4good!
