The children from Hurricane Katrina need a smile and a hug !

************************************************

If you want to help - here's what we can do....the children need a smile and a bit of comfort yesterday but we will start today.

We plan to deliver it to them in the shelters here in Pensacola and to the Red Cross in Alabama and Mississippi to distribute...

Whether it is one lunchbox you prepare or two or three- pack it with love and hugs and make this a family or classroom project!

Send it to:

Homefront Lunchbox Hugs for Kids
c/o Kellermann family
1467 Tiger Lake Drive
Gulf Breeze, Florida 32563

Here's what you can include in each lunchbox (please label for boy or girl):

1 lunchbox for children

stickers

lollipops without gum inside due to choking

1 or 2 juice boxes packed in a Ziploc bag

peanut butter crackers or cheese crackers (nothing that melts)

crayons/markers and paper or coloring book

small child's flashlight with batteries in their original packaging

child sun block

children's bandaids

a small stuffed animal like a beanie baby

a note or even better: photos of you so they know who sent them this special hug!

blowup plastic beach ball- any size

child toothbrush

toothpaste

children's sunglasses

children's flavored chapstick

Small bottles of soap that require no water

(please do not include anything perishable and place anything that may leak or spill or crumble...in small plastic bags)

If every family or individual packs one lunchbox and sends it to us- we will have a lot of smiling children and probably make Moms and Dads smile too !

Our troops are doing all they can - say thanks to them and let us do our part today .

Sincerely,

The Kellermann Family
