Needs at Present Time

Well it is that time of year again, Wish list time!

Central church of Christ in Sarasota, Florida will be sending a container over to Honduras. We are putting out a wish list for items that we are wishing for, some things we want and some we need. We are asking that everyone look to see if you have any of these items that you are no longer using or if your friends or neighbors are wanting to do any spring cleaning. Of course if you would rather go out and buy some of these items we will always take new items. We are very happy to accept used items but we do ask that the items are in good condition. The container is large and we can send quite a bit of stuff, but we do not want to pay to send something that is in bad condition or that does not work.

All items need to be packed in cardboard boxes and labeled with a list of enclosed items and with The Manna Project or Kluges on the box. The container will be shipped out at the end of April.

For the Kitchen:
Lots of dishtowels (garage sales)
large food processor or two
good sturdy serving spoons
good quality knives
rubber mats for the kitchen floor for the women to stand on
cutting boards
md. size plastic bowls with lids
good first aid kit
3 clocks
large locking cabinet
5 gallon buckets
unsweetened kool-aid (any brand will do and you CAN NOT BUY TOO MUCH!) this is great to pack in your bags if you are coming on a trip, We use about 20 packs a day.
pad locks for outdoors (to lock the water containers and gas)
plastic wrap
gallon ziplock bags
an island-style workstation

We watch about 10 children a day, and we could really use any of the following:
Playpens

babyseats
highchairs
diapers
toys, games, supplies appropriate for a daycare
large rug for concrete floor

We are also working on a project to construct a daycare center that will include after-school programs. If any of the groups are seeking to build a playground, we should have the space ready by the time the summer comes.
