Care Packages
Many of you have asked about sending "Care
Packages". Perhaps you, your church or Sunday school
class would like to send one to help in our ministry or just
remind us of home. Here is a list of some items that would
be much appreciated:
Cake mixes – any
kind
Macaroni and cheese
Jiffy corn bread mix
Coffee creamer – any flavors
Pudding mix
Brownie mixes
Pepperoni
Chocolate chips
Twizzlers - red
Rotel – mild or med.
Pecans |
Muffin mixes – any
flavor
Sloppy joe mix
Dry Italian dressing mix
Ranch dressing mix
Kool aide – any flavor
“Singles to go”, (packets that you pour into a
water bottle)
Velveeta
Balloons – all colors
Dryer sheets |
Also, any new or used Sunday school/VBS
material will certainly be put to good use – ship in “m” bag
at Post Office
Tips for Shipping
The US Post Office has a flat rate box that they
will give you to fill up. You can put any weight in the box
and ship it to us for $37.50. Just ask them for a “flat rate
box”.
To save room you can take boxed items out of the boxes and
put them in ziplock bags – you may want to put any cooking
instructions in the bag as well. My cooking ability is not
that great. Anything that you think might break open should
go into a ziplock bag or maybe two, depending on what you
think.
Bubble wrap envelopes are great for shipping items as well.
Again you will want to put items in ziplocks in case of
breakage. The bubble wrap envelopes will come directly to
our mail box. We received an envelope that did not have the
bubble wrap inside it and it was pretty worn – especially
since it was accidentally sent to Jakarta, Indonesia first.
So the bubble wrap is very helpful.
Bigger boxes are quite expensive but we do receive them. The
customs people especially like tootsie rolls if you would
like to throw a few of those on top for good measure.
