For the past seven years, several MPA families have packed personal care kits to distribute at the Loaves and Fishes food program in St. Paul. For those in the MPA community who would like to help, please place donations in the large box in the Cafeteria by Wednesday, April 21. We are collecting travel size soap, shampoo, conditioner, lotion, toothpaste and deodorant, as well as razors, washcloths and toothbrushes. Due to the large number of children that we see, we are also asking for donations of small toys. Anything the size of a Beanie Baby or smaller would be fine. The toys do not need to be new, but they should be in excellent condition. New or gently used socks for adults and children are also much appreciated. Toys and socks may also be placed in the box in the Cafeteria.
Thank you to all who participated last year. Due to your generosity, we were able to pack and distribute over 175 kits that were gratefully received; and as you can imagine, the need is even greater this year. If you have any questions, please contact Deb Wineman at apwineman@earthlink.net.
