OCC INVENTORY

We are thankful for the items you have already turned in this year. Weekly, we are asked about what we need for our shoeboxes. We have been working to inventory the items we have in for “Shoeboxes, 2023”. I am very happy to say we have met our goal with balls, cups and bowls, toy dinosaurs, folders, pens, pencils, erasers, pencil sharpeners, and highlighters. Some it the items we can use more of are coloring books, single subject composition books, bandanas, size 12 underwear for boys and girls, marbles, calculators, play dough, and 8″ scissors. I hope this list is a good guide for your shopping this week. You can leave your purchases in the basket near the front right exit of the sanctuary or give them to Bob and Jackie Babin or David and me. We appreciate all your support for the many children who will receive our boxes this year.

Let you “light” shine for Jesus today.
