Phil’s Friends is an organization established by a cancer survivor to provide Christ-centered support and hope to those affected by cancer. Each week we will collect items that they use to create care packages for those diagnosed with cancer. Please note the specifics of each item — this is very important!Thank you for any support you can provide!
Collection Schedule:
3/8-9: composition notebook, 5x7 (no spiral notebooks!)
3/15-16: composition notebook, 5x7 (no spiral notebooks!)
3/22-23: 8 oz Biotene mouthwash
3/29-30: 5 oz. or smaller fragrance-free lotion

After Easter we will organize an event to decorate the notebooks, turning them into journals to be used by the recipients for thoughts, notes, etc. More details to come!
