Shoe boxes

       

 
1. Council have approved £700 to purchase household supplies for families and such things as soap, shampoos, toothpaste etc will be bulk purchased from Amazon or similar. We aim to fill 100 boxes and will hold a morning  or  afternoon box packing session on October 11^th at 2pm kindly hosted at Home Farm thanks to Tim and Vicky.  We reckon half a dozen volunteers will be enough and we should get these easily.

 

Please let Jack know if you would like to take part in the filling session.

   

 
2. Additionally, members may still like to fill a shoebox personally. We have boxes available for this so please let Jack know if you would like an box or two.

   

 
3. This year with our 100 box event, individual member boxes and some filled by 3^rd Reading Cub Scouts we could get to 150 boxes which would be great.  

   

 
4. In February Rotary Shoebox HQ sent over 11,000 boxes Odessa, Ukraine before the Russian invasion and since then to neighbouring Chisinau Rotary Club in Moldavia where some Ukrainian refugees are among the recipients.
