It's Christmas Boxes of Hope Time!

It may be summer, but it’s time to start thinking about packing Christmas Boxes of Hope for our elderly and frail friends in Romania. The collection deadline, September 13, 2015, will be here before we know it! 

If you’re not familiar with this project, a Christmas Box of Hope is a shoebox filled with simple gifts for men and women who need the hope of Jesus. Boxes of Hope will be shipped in October and teams from America will be in Romania in December to hand deliver your gifts to nearly 200 grateful souls! 

HOW TO MAKE YOUR BOX OF HOPE 

Fill a plastic shoebox with the items listed below. If possible, make your box gender neutral, as demographics change quickly. 

Include a minimum $5 donation to help with shipping costs. Place $5 cash in your box or make your checks payable to “Remember the Children” and note “Elder Orphan Care” on the memo line. 

Drop off your Box of Hope at your church at the time and location provided by your Church Coordinator, or email kimjackson@remember-the-children.org to make other arrangements. 

ITEMS TO INCLUDE IN YOUR BOX 

• Sugar-free hard candy 
• Winter scarf, hat, gloves 
• Notepad, ink pens 
• Comb, brush 
• Slipper socks 
• Travel-size lotion 
• Tissue packets 
• Photo of you/your family with a greeting (for example, Jesus loves you: Isus te Iubeste. Merry Christmas: Craciun Fericit) 

COLLECTION DEADLINE: SEPTEMBER 13, 2015

May God abundantly bless you for bringing hope to our elderly and frail friends in Romania!
