THANK YOU AGAIN TO UNILEVER FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE A PART OF PROJECT SUNLIGHT

THANK YOU AGAIN TO UNILEVER FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE A PART OF PROJECT SUNLIGHT

I would like to once again thank Unilever for the opportunity to be a part of Project Sunlight!! It was an experience that I will remember for the rest of my life. Being able to travel to Los Angeles and Mumbai India to film for the project was amazing. Meeting all the people involved in the project was fantastic! I have made some friends that I will stay in touch with for the rest of my life. Most importantly thank you for the opportunity to be part of a project that is bringing awareness to child hunger an issue that I work very hard to fight in my own community. My goal is to see that no child goes to bed hungry and with Unilever Project Sunlights help we are moving closer to obtaining that goal. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for all you have done!!  Kylee McCumber

THE KARE KITS KIDZ NEED OUR HELP!!!

The kare kits team has started the Holiday Mission of trying to get Christmas gifts for over 200 children this year!!! We still have approximately 25 kids that need to be adopted. If you would like to adopt a child and buy presents for them please reach out to us and we can provide information for a particular child. We know that some families may not be able t...o purchase mutilpe gifts for a child but we would appreciate any support they could offer. We have people who buy a board game, Barbie doll, Toy truck, sweatshirt, socks, pj's.... and donate it to us. We call these items fillers and we use them to compile a few gifts for a child in need. If you are able to help us please let us know. We would need all gifts and fillers by next Saturday December 13th. Thanks so much for your continued support of the mission to help the children!!

Kylee and the team

LETS TURN THE LIKES INTO SOME MONEY TO HELP FEED THE FOOD INSECURE CHILDREN


POSTED BY GARY ZIMMERMAN

Let's turn the likes into some money to help feed the homeless kids in Leominster. Kylee and Lori spend a lot of their free time to help these kids, all I ask is you spend 5 minutes of your time. If you ever saw th...eir schedule you would be amazed so I am asking FB friends to LIKE and SHARE this page and then DONATE. If you have Pay Pal it will take you less than 5 minutes to help them out.

There is one catch do NOT LIKE or SHARE this unless you are going to DONATE at least $4 to create 1 food bag for 1 child for 1 weekend but feel free to donate what you can afford. This is a tax deductible donation.


Just to give you an idea of what is needed. Currently there is just under 200 homeless kids that Kylee Kit's supports (up from 10 when she first started), the weekly food bag that they put together costs about $4, 100% of the donations goes towards the kits.

It is so easy to donate if you have Pay Pal, go to Kylee's web page http://www.kyleeskarekitsforkidz.org/ and click on the donate button in the upper right.

If you don't have pay pal you can send a check payable to Kylee's Kare Kits For Kidz :

Kylee's Kare Kits For Kidz, Inc
68 Main Street # 564
Leominster, MA 01453

If you don't have an envelope or a stamp and you live in Leominster, call me and I will come pick up the donation 978-833-2016

The goal for this message is to raise $800 to help feed the kids for 1 week. this is a very simple goal, I think.

Thank you for your support and generosity.
