Upcoming ACCHE Service Projects

SPAGHETTI LUNCHEON

The middle/high school age classes will be hosting a spaghetti lunch after co-op on November 17th at 12:45. The lunch will be by donation and all donations will go to a former ACCHE family. The dad is battling cancer and has been unable to work for almost a year. Everyone is invited to join us!

OPERATION CHRISTMAS CHILD

ACCHE will be collecting shoeboxes for Operation Christmas Child on November 17th.

Through Operation Christmas Child, the world’s largest Christmas project, you and your children can send gifts to children in more than 100 countries suffering from natural disaster, war, terrorism, disease, famine and poverty. Simply fill a shoebox with toys, hygiene items, school supplies, and/or a personal note. ACCHE will pay half of the shipping charges so you only need to include $3.50 per box to get it to the children.

A detailed brochure will be available at co-op tomorrow.
