Pop Bottles

This morning we went to return all the pop bottles that people have been dropping off. With two kiddos and 7 bags of bottles we headed to the store. People think they can't help but every bit has made an impact. When all was said and done today, another $11 was added to the jar of funds to help the famine in Africa.

Thanks so much for your bottles and keep them coming!

Fundraising Ideas

Part of their speech at school involved the ideas they came up with to raise money for Africa. Specific dates and ways to donate to these events will be made known to friends and family via email. If you want to be included on our email list, please let us know by way of the comments section, or an email to us. Here are the ideas the girls plan to participate in:

Lemonade Stand

Garage Sale

Collecting Pop Bottles

if you want to donate your bottles or return slips let us know and we'll happily accept them for Families Fighting Famine

Bike-a-thon

Abby has decided to bike 10 miles to represent the 10 days it takes for people in the horn of Africa to walk to find food. She will be taking pledges and looking for a few friends who want to ride with us and collect pledges as well. (Yup, that means mom & dad have to bike too)

More info to follow.

They have already shared with family, friends, and classmates. Some toys have been sold. Bottles returned. Donations received. The girls are up to $200 in donations already!

It's amazing what can happen when God places an idea on the hearts of young ones. The girls have incentive as both families have offered matching challenges for their fundraising. Can't wait to see what happens!
