August Birthday Party at Hope House

We had an "apple-licious" time at the Caring Candles party for the August birthday kids at Hope House. Unfortunately, one of the birthday girls was sick, but we saved her and her family some cake, goody bags and her present. The rest of us decorated foam apple magnets, played Pin the Apple on the Apple Tree, ran an apple relay race and created art with real apple prints. The birthday kids loved their presents, too!
A special thank you to our volunteers for coming over to help prepare the goody bags, donating the yummy cake and for helping at the party, too! The kids (and moms) seemed to really enjoy all of the attention! Having more hands to help decorate, play games/prep crafts and clean up is very appreciated!!
Our Hope House contact is out of town now until the end of August, so as soon as we hear from her when she gets back we will have more details for our September party.
In the meantime, our Mission Minute Sunday is coming up on September 13.
Thank you for all of your support, time and efforts on behalf of Caring Candles!!
