Hello! 

Thank you for your generosity so far towards our Mother's Day giving for the local women's shelter. We are so grateful for your donations! This Sunday 2nd May is the last chance to bring along your contributions, and we will pack up the gift bags later on in the afternoon (details below). The gifts will be delivered next week, just in time for Mother's Day!

Some of you have been so kind to ask what items we still need to make up the 20 gift bags, so you can donate thoughtfully. Below is a list of the items we still need, and how many of each item we still require.

Items still needed:

• Nail Polish remover: 19
• Emery boards: 10
• Facial cleanser: 12
• Hand cream: 8
• Body lotion: 16
• Shampoo & Conditioner: 12
• Brushes/combs: 13
• Razors (small packs please ie 2 or 3 razors per pack): 15
• Hand wash: 15
• Body wash/scrub: 10
• Body spray: 14

You can bring your items to church on Sunday morning and place them in the baskets as per previous weeks. If you can't make it on Sunday, but would still like to contribute, please contact Lis or Carmen to make alternative arrangements.

We also welcome you to come and help us pack the gift bags! Carmen and Lis will be at the Ministry Centre from 3pm to organise the items and arrange the gift bags, and invite anyone to come along to help.

Thank you again for your kindness and generosity as we bring a little love, hope and joy to women experiencing a very difficult time in their lives.
