Stake Humanitarian Project--What to Expect and What to Bring!

This Saturday, March 26th from 3:30-5 is our Stake Humanitarian Project at the Auburn Stake Center! It is for all women ages 8+ in the stake, but also for any women in the community! We want people from the community to feel welcome in our church, be able to get a tour from the sister missionaries, learn more about our humanitarian projects, and participate in the service projects. Feel free to invite friends, neighbors, and other women who may be interested in learning about our church or our humanitarian projects--it's an easy way to be a missionary!

For those of you thinking of coming, this will be such a fun service event! It is just an hour and a half, and will be jam packed with fun activities for all ages! Here's a list of some of the different service projects that will be set up and ready:

  • Coloring and decorating greeting cards
  • Coloring and decorating tray liners
  • Stuffing Pillowcases
  • Sorting boxes for hygiene kits
  • Cutting up old towels for hygiene kit washcloths
  • Making headbands out of old t-shirts
  • Making sleeping mats out of grocery bags
  • Tying quilts
  • Making drawstring bags/kits for Days for Girls

It doesn't matter if you are an 8 year old who wants to color or an experienced seamstress, there is something at this event for you to do! 

If you would like to donate, here's a list of donation items:
Travel size items: shampoo and conditioner, body lotion, lip balm, toothbrushes, toothpaste, deodorant, bar soap
Auburn Food Bank Items: Diapers, canned fruits or veggies, canned chili or stew, mac 'n cheese, peanut butter, juice (any size)
Humanitarian Projects: old t-shirts (men's or women's, any size or color, to be cut up)

**Also, there is a sale at Fred Meyer right now for twin sheets for $2.99 + a 10% off coupon! This is the cheapest deal ever! We can take these in any color!**

We are so excited to be able to finish a great deal of projects in just an hour and a half with so many of our sisters! 5:00 will be the General Women's Meeting Broadcast, and we are excited to serve and then to be spiritually fed! See you all on Saturday!
