Top Ten List - Items Needed at St. Anthony’s Kitchen

[nicole.edith]

Just got back from buying a good deal of items off of the list! I explained to my 3 year old what we were doing and he was so awesome at helping pick items (anyone with kids knows what a chore shopping with a 3 year old boy can be!) - and then he even told the cashier that this stuff was for Jamaica when he asked if all of the stuff is for him, haha (lots of school supplies, candies, personal care stuff, and flip flops!).

I wish we could bring more but we're only doing carry-ons - we should be able to (tightly) get it all in between the two of us and our 'personal item bags' besides our actual suitcases.

We plan to make a trip to town on the second morning we're there - if we tell our driver to take us to St. Anthony's, they'll know where to go?

I am so glad that I got a tangible way to help instead of it only being in my head and having no idea where to go or what to bring. Looking forward to seeing some of those darlings and filling up some pockets with candy.

Good morning Nicole.edith,

Whatever you can bring is very much appreciated!! I hope everyone knows that even the smallest of items put a BIG smile on a child's face

Most taxi drivers do know where St. Anthony's Kitchen is, but if not, just tell them to drive you just past the taxi park and look on the left hand side to see the St. Anthony's sign. Don't forget your camera to capture those beautiful little faces when you hand out some candy - Keep in mind the children are not in school yet.

Give thanks for all you do!

Ps. perhaps another 'gift' idea would be healthy granola bars, nuts or seeds - sometimes candy can be toooo sweet and hard on the teeth
