Helping Hand Parties

It's a great reason to get together with friends and help out a community.

The way you can help
When you send out invitations, or confirm attendance for your parties - ask your guests to cut the "box tops for education" labels off their non-perishables and bring them for you to collect and send. Ask them to bring in the Campbell's brands labels for you to collect and send. Go To:www.boxtops4education.comand www.labelsforeducation.com for more information.

Send them to:
Charles B Murphy Elementary
7070 Stennis Airport Drive
Kiln, MS, 39556

You might decide to ask them to bring any toiletries they've collected from their travels (the hotel stuff that's figured into the bill anyway) for you to collect and send.

Send this stuff to:
Pearlington Distribution Center
Charles Murphy Elementary
6096 1st Street
Pearlington, MS 39572

Or you might decide to send simple items such as waterless handcleaner, kitchen utensils, bandaids, towels, etc.

All of these things are needed and welcome. There are several needs lists to choose from. Got to www.KatrinaNetworking.Blogspot.com for current lists and addresses for dozens of organizations working in Hancock County.
