Hey, Catie! I saw your post on Homewood Trading, which led me here. This sounds like a great project for our Sunday school class to contribute to. We are made up of mostly young families with small children, so we have lots of gently used games, puzzles, DVDs, etc. Can you contact me and let me know how to get these to you. I will probably need a couple of weeks to get the things together. We have a big missions conference at church this week that is pretty much consuming all of our attention right now. Thanks so much!
ReplyDeleteI have bought some crayons, colored pencils, coloring books, etc. I will take to the Lifeline office. Thank you for your blog... I enjoy reading. I am currently going through foster care classes through Lifeline. Looking forward to where God leads.
