SPREAD THE WORD PLEASE!!

We normally send two care packages, one each semester right before the end of semester exams. We include a letter from Johnny Kurcina and sometimes an inspirational message in addition to the collective goodies all the moms bring to share (everything from home made goodies to playdough to reduce stress, gum, granola bars, packages of trailmix, cookies, peanut butter or cheese crackers, fruit chews, vitamin packages,  etc).  We invite all the  moms of college students who can make it to come together to share and pack and pray over the boxes and for the students.  Those who can’t come can just let us know they want the boxes sent and we pack for them.  Each mom contributes $10 toward the postage of the mailing (we send priority mail) and the few packing supplies we have to bring.  The day after the mailing a few of us moms bring the boxes to the post office and mail them.
