Mission #1: Urban Promise

Start date: November 1st
Achieved by: November 15th
**Updated: November 18, 2009**

.::hmmm I wonder if we fulfilled this goal... results will be revealed this Sunday Nov 20!!::. -Mok

So for our first "mission" we will be helping Urban Promise Toronto with collecting NEW clothes, jackets and household items to be put in Christmas hampers for 3 different families. By looking at the list, some of you may be wondering .... Q: HOW can 3 families need THAT many jackets? The answer is simple, family #1 is a single mom with 2 girls, family #2 is new family with a new baby girl, and family # 3 is one mom taking care of two families thats a total of 5 kids under only her watch!

With the weather quickly dropping, it is crucial that these families get some suitable clothing for the winter since most of them are in a socio-economic crisis and cannot obtain these necessities on their own. It is our goal to help them stay warm and healthy this christmas.

So the following is the FIRST list of items we hope to collect. We Do realize that this list is quite specific, but we feel that by helping UP collect these items, we can really spread God's love with these families.

REALLY warm winter coat
- Size M Children (9 year old girl)
- Size M Ladies (for mom)
- Size M Ladies (17 year old girl)
- Size XL Ladies (for mom)
- Size XL Men (for dad)

Waterproof winter boots
- Size 2 Children (girl)
- Size 8 Womens
- Size 8 Ladies
- Size 10 Men

Warm Winter Clothing:
- Size 3 Children ( 2 year old girl)
- Size 4/5 Children (3 year old girl)
- Size 7/8 Youth or S Youth (5 year old girl)
- Size 7/8 Youth or S Youth (6 year old boy)
- Size 10 or 12 Youth (10 year old boy)

Household items:
- Kitchen Towels
- J Cloths
- Bath Towels
- Face cloths
- Kitchen supplies (Anything helps!)
- Kitchen appliances


Please REMEMBER that we will be introducing the NEW goal list for collections for University Settlement on November 15th, so we hope to complete this goal BEFORE then!


Thank you!!

How this Works

1) Goals will be sent out bi-weekly for different organizations
2) YOU donate!
3) Volunteers (like you) collect them
4) You receive a HAND MADE christmas card for your donation & an insert indicating the generous gift that you have made
(note: this is a good/unique opportunity to donate on someone's behalf!)
4) We will bring them to the respective organizations to be distributed..

More to come! =)

Things to look forward:

-Introduction of Urban Promise: November 1st
-Introduction of University Settlement: November 15
