e-Missions Update: Biana

NOTE FROM VALERIE: The following is a "wish-list" from Biana for things that are needed at Faith Alive. If you can help just take the stuff to the church - or I cn come and pick it up - leave me a message at the church (559) BAP-TIST

Hi Val. Here's the list of things that people could be picking up when they are out doing their own errands and shopping that I could take back with us to FA.

1. candles - regular tapers, or votives (2 1/4" diameter, 3" high) - I got some marked down at Target in April, but they get used up here fast, and the ones you buy here are very poor quality and don't last long at all. Color doesn't matter.
2. tall kitchen trash bags
3. a plastic or metal "over the door hanger" for hanging clothes or towels on
4. 2 plastic soap holders with either a suction cup thing or a sticky pad to use to attach to bathroom tiles
5. 2 plastic toothbrush/paste/cup holder with suction cup or sticky pad attachment also
6. herb teas and instant hot chocolate
7. 2 cheap plastic stand up file folder holders (like you would use on a desk)
8. ziplock or tupperware type containers (1cup, 2 cup, or 4 cup size), or even things like used margarine tubs.
9. whole wheat pancake mix
10. 2 inexpensive plastic napkin holders (maybe with a salt/pepper shaker also)
11. multivitamins - Costco has very large off brand bottles for anywhere from $8 to $11, these are very useful for the clinic, but hard to ship cause of the weight, so any time travelers can bring a few it help)
12. waterless hand cleaner
and of course, we can't forget #13 - chocolate, cashews, almonds, etc.

Thanks for passing this around. If people can get the stuff to you or to church so I can get it on Sunday 7/15 that would be helpful. That way I have time to go out and buy the things they don't get before we leave. Most things can be found at Target/Walmart/etc.
