Here at St. Mark, the Luke 4:18 club is spearheading a new project: the Love Box Project. This is an event that will be taking place from November 25th to December 6th, 2019.
Students are asked to bring in small gifts for young patients at Markham Stouffville Hospital. We also ask that the items be new, and that no food products be donated. The love boxes will be delivered to the hospital the following week, in case they are needed for Christmas.
With the Love Box Project, we are trying to show our support at St Mark in contributing what we can. Please read over the attached chart to ensure that you purchase an item that corresponds to your child’s class. Because we are also unsure of gender of the recipient of the donation, please insure that any toys you purchase are gender neutral.
The boxes are slightly longer and wider than a binder and as deep as a adult shoe box. A colouring book or small stuffed toy will fit but a basketball will not.
Thank you for your help and support!
