The Standing Rock
Reservation.
Dear Friends,
I don't know if you are as surprised as I am that the 'holidays'
are
already here - but THEY HAVE ARRIVED!
And so has our 8th annual
Reservation.
We will be accepting donations of gifts and clothing thru
December 14th.
Donations may be dropped off
at the front door of Angel Hill House 24/7
(no need to knock). We have
donation boxes on the covered front
porch. Please be sure to leave
your name along with your donation.
If you wrap your gift, please label it with age/size/gender.
For the holiday project the only n'used clothing that will
be accepted are
coats and
jackets. (if you have other n'used clothing you would like
to
donate, please get the shipping address from Sherry, and you can
ship
your donations directly to the church in ND).
As you know from earlier emails, the cost of shipping has
dramatically
increased with the rising cost of fuel, so we
are seeking to reduce our
shipping weights as much as possible without
skimping on our giving.
With that in mind - many stores are offering the 'black Friday'
sales ONLINE -
WITH FREE
SHIPPING!!!!
This is a great way to stretch our dollars by shopping the super
sales after
Thanksgiving, and using the FREE SHIPPING to send the gifts
DIRECTLY
to
Rev. Boots Marsh
7149 B South Big
Standing Rock Reservation
(Please reference The Peace Chapel, & Rev.
Sherry
with your shipments, so they know you
are
participating in this project)
**Special
Request: heavy items such as
the much needed hygiene supplies
(shampoos etc) -
please consider doing this shopping
and shipping from
online sources.

Pastor Boots will drive (100+ miles roundtrip) to
Walmart
and do additional shopping for needed items and food.
I humbly have a special request this year:
Please consider
adding a financial donation along with
your gifts to help
defray the shipping costs of the gifts and
clothing that we
will be shipping from Angel Hill House

If you have any sources that could possibly help us with the
shipping - PLEASE LET REV.
SHERRY KNOW!!!
