Did you get something for Christmas you will not be able to use?
Did you get a duplicate gift or something you can not get exchanged?
Did you buy a gift too many?
Why not donate it to this worthy cause?
We are looking for new items left over from Christmas to sell in our Bring & Buy or add to our grand raffle.
What are we raising funds to buy?
Answer - A Shelter Box - cost £490
- the more funds we raise - the more boxes we will despatch.
A shelter box contains a tent, water purification equipment, sleeping bags etc. - each box provides shelter and warmth for up to 10 people for a prolonged period. They will be labelled as coming from the people of Milton Village in Cambridgeshire UK.
For more information please see www.shelterbox.org
The shelter boxes will be our first response. We are planning future events such as possibly a co-ordinated mass garage sale to raise funds for the long term.
Given the urgency, Milton Village View on behalf of the village has arranged for a box to be sent in anticipation of raising the funds to cover the cost and hopefully many more.
Cheques can be sent to:- John Gray ,12 Humphries Way, Milton or Jim Daniels, 84 Coles Road, Milton.
Please make cheques payable to:-
Milton Parish Council Asian Disaster Appeal
