CHILDREN’S HOME NEWS/UPDATES
Needs List:  Pick up a list in the back. 
                Also remember to save your Campbell and Best Choice UPC CODES from the labels & place them in the box on the annex coat rack.  These are redeemed for cash and/or goods to be used by the home.
                The coin banks for the Children’s Home are due in the middle of September.  We need to be getting our banks filled up!  If you don’t have one yet, there are some above the coat rack in the annex and also in the back of the auditorium.
                Is Your Closet Getting Crowded?  The Children’s Homes are now accepting used clothing (in good condition) to be used to help clothe some of the children.  Items not used will be sent to their Thrift Store for sale.  If you have any nice, cleaned used clothing, please bring them to the building.  They will be picked up in September at the same time as our food supplies.
                Homecoming for the Children’s Homes is Saturday, September 25th from 10:30 a.m. to 2 p.m.  A homestyle lunch of catfish, chicken & all the extras will be served.  See the flyer on the back bulletin board for more information.
                Change for Children Family Day will be held Saturday, October 23rd from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. 
Each child who returns a Change for Children coin bank gets a prize.  See the flyer on the back bulletin board for more information.
