I wanted to begin with sharing a video created by Michelle, Becky, Jennifer, Darlene and the 4G boys for a special purpose!!
Here's a link to the video. It's 11 minutes long but worth every second!!!
Party with a Purpose Details - An evite to rsvp will be sent out soon!!
Who: Families with Preschoolers through Rising 6th graders...You are invited to our Party!
What: Not just any ol' party... This is a PARTY with a PURPOSE! It's a "Can"-ival with games, prizes, food and gifts to teach our kids that you are never too small to serve others! We will be helping out our own Central Virginia Food Bank.
When: July 31st at 10:30 a.m. followed by a tour of the FeedMore facility at 1:30 (for anyone interested)
Where: Kings Charter Clubhouse and playground for the party followed by the FeedMore tour at 1415 Rhoadmiller St; Richmond, VA
Why: Because God asks all of us - including children- to serve others in His name
For those interested, here are some more details:
GIFTS: We'd like to ask you to bring a party gift...and we know exactly what we want! FOOD DONATIONS for FeedMore. (Specifically requested food items: Peanut butter, canned tuna & chicken, low sodium veggies, fruits packed in juice, spaghetti sauce (no glass), canned or dry beans, hot and cold cereal, whole grain snacks)
Note to Parents: We would love for you to encourage your children to do some work, earn some money and use that to help purchase the canned food donations. In addition, if you are willing to donate some coins that could be used as prizes for some of our can carnival games, please let us know. The kids will earn coins for participating in the games that they will then be able to take with us and donate to Feedmore during our tour. This is a very tangible way for the kids to serve others in need. Use this as a teaching tool with your kids this summer!
LUNCH : A Pizza lunch will be provided including lemonade, but if you would like to help with sides and desserts, we will send out a sign-up list as the date gets closer.
TOUR: At the conclusion of our party, we'd like to invite you to do something very special. Something that we believe will help our children embrace the reason for our party. We'd like to invite you to join us on a 30 minute tour of FeedMore. We'll take all of our food donations to FeedMore and have them weighed. We'll also give our monetary donations at this time. Then, we'll be able to tour the facility and see how meals are prepared and hunger is helped. (Parents will need to provide transportation to/from the tour and no sandals or open toed shoes allowed on the tour)
Directions to FeedMore: 1415 Rhoadmiller St, Richmond, VA 23220
