Blythswood Shoe Box Appeal – This November our Youth Fellowship plan to fill shoe boxes for the annual Blythswood shoe box appeal. Each box is filled with small practical items including a toothbrush, toothpaste, soap, sweets, toy/gift, scarf, gloves and hat and some underwear. If you are able to help us with donations of gifts or can give financially towards the Blythswood transport costs of the boxes, that would be very helpful. We plan to collect donations over the next few weeks, then the YF will meet on Saturday 2nd November at the church to wrap and pack the boxes. Information leaflets with further details will be available soon.
For further information speak to Sally or see https://blythswood.org/shoeboxappeal/
