Our mission to Guatemala this year
is March 10-18. During the weekends of February 11- 12 and February 18-19, the 14 volunteers are holding the annual Buck and Bottle Fundraiser.
We know we would not be able to do this without your support and truly appreciate your donations.
How You Can Help
Buck & Bottle Collection
During the weekends of February 11-12 and February 18-19, 2012, the mission volunteers are holding the Buck & Bottle Fundraiser.
We need adult and children's vitamins (NO gummy-type children's vitamins, please), as well as "bucks" ($$) that can be attached by a rubber band to the item donated.
Because the volunteers carry all of the medical supplies, we would prefer smaller bottles of vitamins as they have much less wasted space in the bottle than do large bottles.
The monetary donations fund the purchase of various medical and dental supplies and medications which are split up and carried in a suitcase by each volunteer. If we are able to raise enough funds, we may be able to provide a scholarship to a deserving child in Guatemala, giving them the opportunity to complete their education and learn how to help their people. Also, a portion of your donation is used to help defray the cost of the mission trip.
If you would like, you may drop your donation at the parish office. We will also have available pre-addressed, stamped envelopes for your convenience.
Checks should be made payable to: SJV Medical Mission.
