We are nearly twelve weeks from Distribution Day on December 26th. It is easy to get lost in the details as well as think that twelve weeks is plenty of time and that we don't really have to get ready yet.
However, six weeks from now we will be launching. Launch date, as in the date the boxes arrive at the churches, is November 13.
Now is when we need to get ready. We need to plan purchases of snacks, school supplies, cards, baking items and bags. In the next few weeks, I will contacting pastors to arrange presentations. I will be contacting my volunteer bakers to get a count of cookies.
Our goal is 700 Blessing Bags and 400 school supply bags. We need between 2,100 and 4,200 cookies (175-350 dozen).
We need to get ready so that we are set on November 13th to launch. That way on December 26th, we can go spread hope.
