Sneakers and/ or sandles-new or barely used condition ONLY. These citizens do alot of walking. A comfortable pair of walking shoes or sandles would help them to get around.Use our visual images below to give you an idea of what your packet should look like.
STEP #2 – IT’S TIME TO PACK
Packing items:
Package each care packet in a tight sealing LARGE Ziploc bag for shipping purposes only. Be sure to tape the tops of all bottles with liquid in them, (items such as shampoo, etc.)
To protect our environment, all care packages received will be removed from plastic and placed in paper bags to be given out. Paper is more environmentally safe than plastic.STEP #3 -SHIP YOUR CARE PACKAGE :
Mail items in LARGE FLAT RATE BOX. This box will cost $17.90 and will hold at least 15-20 packets in them-WOW! Look at how many people you can help!!!!
