With the weather being so warm it’s hard to believe that Christmas is right around the corner! North Star Family Medicine will be collecting Items for the month of October to create Christmas shoe boxes for Operation Christmas Child. Items can be dropped off at the clinic during regular office hours.
What Should I Buy?
- Toys: Choose one larger toy (like a doll or a yo-yo) and several smaller toys (like finger puppets, cars, or a skipping rope).
- School Supplies: Include pencils, a pencil sharpener, erasers, a notebook, crayons, markers, and stickers to create a complete school kit.
- Personal Care Items: Pack a toothbrush, comb, hairbrush, washcloth, and a small sewing kit. Non-medicated lip balm is also a good addition.
- Clothing and Accessories: Include socks, undergarments, a hat, hair bows, a watch, and a small backpack or bag.
- Crafts and Activities: Things like coloring books, playdough (with cutters), skipping ropes, puzzles, or a small chalkboard with chalk are excellent choices.
