SURVIVAL FOOD BOX - printer friendly version

A two day supply of essentials for the homeless who are placed in temporary shelter. Sending “too much” will only result in waste if the people need to move elsewhere and don’t have their own transportation.

Only non-perishables can be packed into box. Notes of encouragement or scripture would be fine.
