A total of 521 boxes have been collected to date and taken to the Sydney area warehouse.
Recently the local Men's Shed has donated their delightful toys (something to play with) including skipping rope handles, wooden toys and chalk boards, made to fit the base of the shoeboxes.
So for our next packing day in September we will welcome something to wear in the form of new tee shirts, shorts, caps, underwear and something to love such as, soft toys.
In readiness for the next Packing Day in September, we are planning a work day on Wednesday, August 21 from 11am at Lithgow Baptist Church, on the corner of the Great Western Highway and Lee Street.
There are knitted toys to complete, pencil cases, sewing and craft kits to be packed, fishing kits, skipping ropes and shoeboxes to assemble.
Anyone any age, is welcome to join our enthusiastic volunteers for food, fun and friendship.
Enquiries to Kerry or Val Morris on 0406 241 616 or email kvmorris2@gmail.com. Remember you can always collect you empty box and leaflet, or drop off your packed box in business hours at the Professionals in Main Street, thanks to Tina Case.
