Christmas Goodie Bag Project -- In conjunction with
Central California Women's Facility [CCWF] and the United Methodist Church of Merced **
Central California Women's Facility [CCWF] and the United Methodist Church of Merced **
Did you know there are over 8,000 women in Chowchilla prisons? Many are very short on relatives and friends, or those relatives and friends are too far away to visit. So, on one hand there's loneliness, but on the other hand there's overcrowding and limitations on personal freedom very hard to bear.
The Golden Rule challenges us here as it does so many other places. It bids us to show we care.
Toward that end, a project has been organized which will result in the delivery of Ziplock bags containing tokens of love during the holidays of December. Inside the bags there will be an equitable assortment of such things as these:
Individual small-sized/sample-sized motel
Soap, Shampoo, Conditioner, Lotion, Toothpaste, Tissue
Blank stationary and Unused Greeting Cards with envelopes, blank postcards
Tooth Brushes (regular adult size)
Pencils -- wood, full-size, eraser top
The bags will be filled at the United Methodist Church of Merced and deliverd to the Chowchilla prisons in early December.
Right now, you are invited and encouraged to contribute whatever you can of the items on the list. You are also welcome to make a financial contribution. Things may be brought to the United Methodist Church of Merced, or a call to the individuals listed below will trigger a pick-up. We want everything gathered by Thanksgiving. Checks should be made payable to United Methodist Church of Merced with the notation: "VSPW Prison Project".
Your help is needed and will be valued and appreciated.
