[NFB-Krafters-Korner] Successful Saturday

Sun Nov 19 15:34:25 UTC 2023

This week, my Knights Council will be distributing boxes of Thanksgiving foods to needy Families through out the area. We are also in the midst of our annual Coats for Kids collection
We already know that the needs of both foods and coats will be greater this year due to the influx of people coming into the area to escape what is going on in their countries.

When I was working, we had a few boxes next to the big Christmas tree, in the lobby for collecting Toys For Tots!
I had fun going to our R and W gift shop, looking for something to donate to the box.  For a while, I was able to find, raggedy  Anne dolls to contribute!
I can just imagine a little child, cuddling that soft doll!
I love to help the needy.  I am one of many,  adopted kids, in my family!
The knites would come and pick up those toys, at our Christmas party!
What a beautiful site.

Thank you for all your amazing efforts!  That is great the boxes were blessed. 

Our work is collecting toys for a local food bank. I brought 3 toys for the collections.  

I hope to get back to the charity gtou!!
