Snack Donations Needed!
Each day of VBS we provide a snack for the kiddos to enjoy! With around 800 children coming to Hope Grimes for VBS this summer, we need a lot of snacks for all to enjoy! If you’d like to donate for snack at VBS this year, here’s what we need:
- Goldfish
- Animal Crackers
- Fruit Snacks
- Freezer Pops
- Pirates Booty
All of these can be purchased on Amazon, using our Amazon Wishlist and will be delivered directly to our building if that’s what you choose to do. If you have a Costco membership, the individually packaged Goldfish are a better deal for the quantity of bags. You can purchase from Costco here. All purchased snacks can be delivered directly to Hope Grimes (1335 NE Beaverbrooke Blvd) or dropped off in the office during our office hours. Thank you for the ways that you are serving the kiddos at VBS this summer!
