Reminder- Toiletry Drive for Hope of the Valley at Nov Pack Meeting 11/18

Dear Pack 310 families,

Reminder-- please bring your toiletry donations to the Nov. 18th pack meeting.
 

The Hope of the Valley Rescue Mission in Sunland provides transitional housing for homeless individuals and families. Pack 310 collects personal toiletries for their family residents at our November Pack Meeting (Thanks & Giving). We started this annual Pack 310 tradition in 2013.

Here is the suggested donation list:

• Toothbrush
• Toothpaste
• Deodorant
• Soap
• Shampoo
• Hand Sanitizer
• Band-Aids
• Diapers & baby wipes
• Lip balm
• Comb or hairbrush

The boys should be involved in purchasing the items, rather than just the parents. The dollar store is perfect for this, for example, we allow our son to pick out $5 worth of items to donate. We encourage you to have a conversation with your Scout about helping those in need. What would it be like to not have soap? Or a toothbrush? We often take what we have for granted.

We will have a drop-off bin at the pack meeting. Please be sure to have your participating Scout sign in on the sign-in sheet when they drop off their items, as they will earn their Messengers of Peace award for participating in this service project (and/or Scouting for Food). Our goal is for 100% of Pack 310's Scouts to earn this meaningful service award. Thank you!
