Friends, 12/08/08: BHN Update for Volunteers I wanted to say a heartfelt THANK YOU to all of our wonderful BHN volunteers and supporters! Also wanted to take this opportunity to let you know what’s going on at BHN. Our annual Gift Wrap Booth is open and ready for your gifts to wrap at Brookwood Colonial Village! It’s in the same location as last year – the southwest corner of the food court, next to Sbarro. It is open during mall hours, and 100% of the donations made for wrapping come directly to support BHN because the expenses were underwritten by sponsors. It’s a simple way to get all your holiday gifts wrapped, and support us at the same time, so bring them on down! We are still in need of sponsors for the guests for Christmas. We would appreciate any Wal-Mart gift cards or monetary donations to make sure all 14 guests are covered, PLUS any new families that we get, since it looks like 2 or 3 of our current families *may* have new homes before Christmas! Remember that you can sponsor guests as a gift to your family and friends and co- workers, and we will send a donor card to inform them. We are currently being hosted at Huffman United Methodist Church. We will be going to Trinity United Methodist Church on Sunday. The rotation for the rest of the year is as follows:
• 12-07 Trinity United Methodist Church We have been, and remain at capacity still – 14 guests, 3 families. All 3 families are attempting to move out soon, so we may be getting an entirely new group in the next few weeks. Thank you all SO much, and have a beautiful holiday season!
We need to go ahead and start planning for Christmas for our guests. If
you would like to sponsor a guest/guests, let me know. If you want to
shop and wrap, we won’t know until a few days before Christmas who we
will have, and be able to give you a wish list. If you would like to do
a gift card, we can go ahead and start collecting those. I will take the
parents shopping a few days before Christmas to buy “Santa”, and try to
help the kids pick out things for their parents. I try to keep it to
about $75 per guest. Santa then leaves the gifts under the tree on
Christmas morning. Covenant Presbyterian will be hosting them this year,
and get to have all the fun ! Anything we have above and beyond the
current guests goes to help families who have moved out this past year
and who may not have been eligible for an assistance project.
