The OKC Regional Food Bank has teamed up with Disney to give away a free ticket, if you put in a day of volunteer time. If you plan to join
us on Feb. 20, go ahead and sign-up for a free ticket. You need to do so prior to volunteering. Go to: Give a Day. Get a Disney Day.
Feb. 26-27 One Night in a Box - fundraiser for an agency that helps the homeless. Many of the local churches will be joining us this year.
Up-date:
The Hugs project was a huge success last Jan. 20. We had 27 participants and put in 146.5 hours of volunteer time.
Walgreen’s had donated tons of Christmas candy for the troops, so a good portion of our group sorted that. We also
had groups sort through cards, help create games, learn to work the Knifty Knitter kits to make hats, and do some sewing and ironing.
HUGS is always looking for volunteers and is willing to work with younger kids. If you ever want to go volunteer on your own, please contact
Karen (844-8359) or (651-8359) or hugsproject@cox.net
Thank you to all that gave up their Saturday to help HUGS.
1-Night In A Box
It's BACK!!!!
The 6th annual "1-Night in a Box" event is back.
Click here for information and permission sheet, which contains all the information you will need to
participate. Click here for the collection sheet.
If you have never done this with CAM, I invite you to come make a memory. Many people have
shared with me how participating in the "1-Night in a Box" event has made an impact in their life. It helped them to understand the needs in our own
community as well as helped them to be able to look at the needs of others in a different light.
Anyone in sixth grade or older may participate. Younger youth may participate only if a parent or legal guardian accompanies the child for the whole night.
Please help us spread the news about this event. Invite a friend and or have your whole family participate.
Please let Donna know if you have any questions.
