The UAC “Wish List”

Why don’t you make some room in your house and help others at the same time? The following are common, everyday items. If you frequent Sam’s Club, Cosco, Price Club or any of the other big discount stores, like most families do, pick up a couple extra items. If they’re items your kids need (soap, vitamins, coloring books, etc.), you can be sure the children overseas need them too.

  • Clean and ready to wear tennis shoes and sandals.
