The concept is simple, but so important . . . touching the lives of those who are putting it all on the line for us. Pathfinders, the youth group of Bethlehem Lutheran Church in Baldwin, NY and the BLC Sunday School kids are trying to do just that.
We have organized OPERATION: GIFT BOX, an ongoing effort to write letters, raise money and collect food and personal items to send to our brave men and women serving our country overseas, but we need your help.
Please click the "items needed" link above to get an idea of what we're looking for. Items can be brought to the church Monday through Friday, from 9:00 AM - 1:00 PM. If you would prefer us to do the shopping, why not send us a donation. These donations will also be used to help with shipping costs.
Please make your check out to "Bethlehem Lutheran Church / Pathfinders" and mail to:
Bethlehem Lutheran Church Attn: Operation:Gift Box 1375 Grand Ave Baldwin, NY 11510
------------------------------------------------------------
Remember, "OPERATION: GIFT BOX" is about support . . . not just stuff . . . and the best way to show YOUR support is so simple . . . WRITE A LETTER TELLING THEM HOW MUCH YOU APPRECIATE WHAT THEY ARE DOING! Letters from children are particularly uplifting.
If you don't know a soldier currently serving our country overseas, write a letter anyway and we will make sure it gets into a soldiers hands. If you're worried you won't know what to write to someone you don't know . . . just sit down with a pen and a piece of paper, think about the kind of life they are living right now and how much better your life will be as a result of it . . . the words will come right to you!
Letters can be dropped off or sent to our church at the address above.
