We met a great charity a few weeks ago called Hands for Soliders. They are a non-profit started by an AMAZING 9 year old girl. She wanted to touch the lives of soliders one solider at time. She came up the idea of making goodie bags in the shape of the hand for them and included a thank you for your service card.
Janey stuffs hand shaped bags with small items like toothpaste, lotion, candy, pens, soap, notebooks, toothbrushes, dental floss, lip balm, sunscreen and other small sized items. She raises money for the postage through face painting at local festivals and selling items through garage sales. Janey has reached over 20,000 with her hands
Angel Shoppers donated 29 bottles of shampoo, 19 bottles of conditioner, 9 things of hair spray, 13 bottles of lotion, 23 bottles of body wash, 17 tuebs ofdeodorant, 14 bottles contact solutions, 18 boxes cold medicine, 18 bottles of tylenol, 20 things of dental floss, 15 toothbrushes, 15 jars of lip balm, 10 bottles of vitamins, 13 razors, 13 bottles of shaving cream, 3 breath strips, 8 boxes of misc medicine and 50 TUBES of TOOTHPASTE! All these items were purchased for under $.25 or free with coupons.
Please be on the look out for deals that will benefit our service men and women overseas through Hands for Soliders.
