If you are in the Houston area…. please come and help us assemble hygiene kits for the earthquake victims in Japan! It is easy and should only take about an hour. I am personally using this as a service project for my children and am having the kids do the assembly part when we put them together. WE NEED YOU TO HELP!
I am sooo excited to tell you of a few donations that we have gotten:
- Kroger donated a $50 gift card for supplies
- Chik Fil A has donated some food for the kids to eat as they are helping!
- My Mom and Dad (thanks guys!) Have donated another $50 to help buy some more supplies!
I am sick that MOST of my stockpile is in storage as we move. I asked Paul to go and pull it out last night, he was gone for an hour and came back empty handed and told me to go buy some things. He was not going to be able to pull it all out from a 20×20 storage unit!
Please take an hour out of your day Thursday to help. Bring what you have and if you are able to purchase some items we would greatly appreciate it! If each family beings enough supplies to make 5 kits I am hoping we can get 400 done!!

Just as angelic as she looks, this girl could easily raise a Village by herself, and all the children would grow up to be President.
Self proclaimed, she would be a webkinz dog. Because, "they're cute, and puppies are too. And they're sweet and they always get along with other puppies."
This mini-Martha Stewart can handle ANY craft you send her way. She isn't all bows and rainbows, she's got karate kid moves!
Not "Pick-Me-Up" like caffeine, she wants you to pick her up! AND NOW!
Anything that can be destroyed WILL be destroyed!
Practically Perfect in Every Way for now! Nicknamed "The Panda" she is rolly polly and lives by the motto, "the little one, is KING!"
The resident Labradoodle, Miller got his name because Mom won and got to name the baby! Need something chewed up? He'll take care of it. Especially if it's expensive..
I can’t come but would love to know where you are taking the completed kits once they are put together. I think this is something that I could get my kids involved in.
Thanks,

I am taking them down to the Bishops Storehouse on Haffer and 1960 to be sent to distribution center and off to Japan. Email me and I can get you the address.
Really hoping to be there! We are always trying to teach our 4 year old what a joy it is to serve /give and what a perfect oppertunity to give action to our words!!
I SO wish we could come. We have ped appt’s in Huntsville at 1:00 that day. I too think it would be a great way to teach my 4 year old.
Good luck. If you decide to do an additional day – on a Saturday – please post!
Tiffany,
Are y’all going through the Red Cross? I live in Georgia and would love to do this with my church. We have a lot of homeschooling families, and I think this would be a great service project. I’m just not sure where to send the kits. Thanks for any info you can provide. Cecilia
Can I copy post this to my website?Let me know I am hoping I can be there to help as well! I have been following you and giving you credit for some of the deals you find! Thanks
Hi Tiffany, My boys and I will be there tommorow. Where are you finding the best deals for these items?
Thanks,
Heather
Hi Tiffany,
I plan on bringing the supplies you mentioned Thursday morning to help with the care packages. Is there anything else we can bring? (Tylenol, female hygiene products, deodorant) Or should I just focus on what you mentioned above?
Thanks for doing this, we really wanted to help but didn’t know what direction to go!
The only things that we can include are the ones I listed….. I wish I knew of somewhere to donate exactly what you mentioned because I have a ton!!! Thank you so much for helping!
