Hungary Donation Drive

Hello PYOC Families, 

For the past 3 summers our ministry has partnered with GoodSports International in Hungary by assisting with English and sports camps for kids in the small community of Mikepercs. In addition to these summer camps, GoodSports is also connected with a number of orphanages throughout Hungary. Each summer, we've collected a variety of donations for these orphanages and have delivered the donations during our mission trips. 

This Christmas, GoodSports is providing Christmas programs for 3 Hungarian orphanages - over 270 children. They've asked us for help in providing Christmas gifts for these children. 

They are specifically in need of the following items: 

- Soccer Balls

- A variety of gifts for girls (ages 7-20, ideas: nail polish w/ polish remover, hair stuff, craft kits, jewelry making supplies- beads and cords, stuffed animals, etc.)

- Toiletries (toothbrushes/paste, soaps, deodorants, shampoos - orphans have to buy these things on their own; many can't afford them and go without) 

- Candy (they love American candies! Each child will hopefully receive a goodie bag with candies... clearance Halloween candy would be greatly appreciated!) 

Students can bring donations to youth group and/or Bible studies over the next 3 weeks.  Or, you can drop them by our PYOC office in the North Chapel Annex on Mondays, Tuesdays or Wednesdays, from now through November 6th. **If we happen to be out of the office when you stop by, please leave donations in the box on our doorstep labeled "Hungary." Please don't leave donations in other areas of the chapel.  

Thanks for considering helping out our friends in Hungary! Each year they are so appreciative of our community and the support we are able to offer. It is huge encouragement to them. 

This is a great opportunity to begin ushering in the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays, by blessing Hungarian orphans. Please let us know if you have any questions.
