Please can you support CARE’s Christmas Appeal?
Toy’s for Joy & Christmas Hampers
In November and December, CARE run two Christmas schemes and are hoping people can consider helping them with one or both of the following:
Toy’s for Joy
Every Christmas CARE runs a ‘Toys for Joy’ scheme whereby people provide us with toys to redistribute to children living in financial poverty. Over the last 7 years we have given gifts out to over 1,500 children in the local area.
CARE is now arranging ‘Toys for Joy’ once again and we are asking for our local community to support this. What we ask is that people would donate any new toys to us so we can put a smile on the face of a child on Christmas Day morning.
Create a Hamper
Our other scheme is ‘Create a Hamper’ whereby we give food hampers to people in desperate need at Christmas time.
To help us do this we are asking people to fill a box by placing an item of food into the box throughout the month of November for local families or single people in food poverty this Christmas. Maybe this might include those little luxuries we all enjoy like a mince pie or chocolate orange.
We need to receive these items by Friday 8th December 2017, so that they can be ready for distribution in advance of Christmas. We have a van and driver who could collect any donations leading up to the 8th December if you could let us know if you need this by 1st December.
I have also attached a poster and flyer about our projects with all necessary information and closing dates which I hope will be of use if you wish to advertise these projects.
The people we help are all vulnerable and genuinely experiencing many complex needs such as homelessness, mental and physical health issues, loneliness and financial hardship.
Thank you.
