MO-ARK Kiwanis
Mid-Winter Service Project
Sponsored by Circle K, Kiwanis Partners
and Kids
A
woman’s Crisis Center in Branson is our service project for Mid-Winter
Conference Saturday February 21. The
Crisis Center typically houses 35-50 children ranging in ages from birth to 17
years old. These kids literally come to
the Crisis Center with the clothes on their back and sometimes the clothes are
only pajamas. These children need our
help. They have nothing. The Crisis Center would love to have donations
of the following:
·
New Toys
for all ages
·
Colors, scissors, and games
·
Play Stations and games
·
Bikes of all sizes
·
Sports equipment like basketballs, baseballs,
gloves, bats, footballs, soccer balls, etc
·
Books for all ages
·
Family videos
·
Personal Hygiene items (toothbrushes, combs,
soap, shampoo, deodorant, toothpaste, hair styling products, etc)
The
Circle K young leaders, Kiwanis Partners and the children attending the
conference are going to meet Saturday morning at
We
are asking each club to gather as much of the above list that they can and then
send it with whoever is coming to the Mid Winter Conference. Clubs may choose to just donate one or two
large items (bikes) or a lot of smaller toys and games or books, but we are
asking every club to donate personal hygiene items in addition
to the toys, etc. If you can bring them
in small boxes it would be much appreciated.
Suggestion: Have two special club meetings where each
member brings personal hygiene items and a toy to be donated or each bring personal hygiene items and everyone kicks in a couple of
dollars to buy the more expensive items.
That will give every member an opportunity to donate by having it over a
couple of different meetings.
Thank
you for sharing with these very needy children.
Times to remember: Saturday February 21 meet at
