We will be seeking to prepare 1,000+ snack packages AND 1,000+ hygiene kits for our local homeless community in support of Word on the Street ministry (https://www.facebook.com/wots4homeless/?fref=ts). This year OMMA will again be partnering with Avalon Church (www.avalonchurch.org), but also with the Avalon Park Foundation and the local Rotary group!
If you feel led to supply any of the items below to help fill care packages or items for the hygiene kits for our area homeless men, women and children, please bring them to OMMA or leave them at the Avalon Church office (there may be other collection locations in the community as well). We hope to collect enough items for at least 1,000 of each.
Snack Bag Items needed: Packages of Cheese Crackers (Austin brand), Small Applesauce/Fruit cups, Chewy Granola Bars, Chocolate Pudding cups, Small Vienna Sausages (pop-top), Chicken ramen noodles cups (Styrofoam cups – not the sleeve kind), Juice pouch drinks (Aldi’s brand work best), Gallon sized Ziploc bags
PLEASE, NO CHOCOLATE, GUMMY CANDIES or other items that can melt or are too hard (peanuts).
Hygiene Kit Items needed: Full-sized Bars of soap, Washcloths, Crew Socks, Double Edged disposable razor blades (not single, or triple), Stick Deodorant (neutral scent), 4 ounce bottles of shampoo (neutral scent), Gallon Sized Ziploc bags, Quart sized Ziploc bags.
