Sub-for-Santa Refugee Family

I just love this holiday season. It gives us time to reflect upon our many blessings and to serve others around us.

This year for Christmas we are involved in a Sub-for-Santa project for a refugee family from Somalia. The family has a 104 year old Grandma and a 9 year old boy (and all ages in between). The family has given us a Wish List which includes: big cooking pots, plates, cups, bowls, utensils, warm quilts or blankets, sweaters, socks, jackets, cleaning supplies, laundry detergent, queen mattresses (4), a bunk bed, sugar, rice and flour. We have been busy putting things together to take to the family (we deliver everything on Saturday, December 17). We are hoping to fulfill the majority of their list, however we have been asked to stay within a limited budget. If you have any gently used items around your house that you would like to donate, please let me know. I would be happy to come pick them up. We are really excited to help this family out as they really just need the basic things. It really put our Christmas wishlist into perspective after reading what they desire.

I am including clothes/shoe sizes too for those interested in more details. 

Merry Christmas!
