Work Party: Valentines for Vetrans, and Homeless Care Packets

We are getting ready to have a work party for Dad's birthday. We will be making valentines for veterans and homeless care packets like we did last year on MLK day. Several people have asked what we included so here are lists and photos.

Valentines for Veteran's included:

• Deck of cards
• Pen
• Rolled up sudoku and word puzzle
• Tissues
• Gum
• Candy and/or snack
• Packaged in valentines bag with personalized tag

Kids can make tags from plain paper or use stickers and labels that say "Happy Valentines Day Veteran. Thank you for serving our country!" The VA Hospital was happy to hand these out in their in-patient and out-patient facilities.

Homeless care packets included: 

• Water bottle 
• Tissues Snack 
• Gum 
• Socks and dental care tools as available 
• Packaged in gallon-sized ziplock bag, decorated with stickers

We bought most of the supplies from the dollar store and Oriental Trading Company. Lining them up in plastic bins made assembly go fast and easy. Kids and adults did a great job!
