Men of Area 51 and SOB/Indianland – OPERATION SWEET TOOTH Toy and Supply Drive – All Hands On Deck

F3 Men of Area51 and SOB land (together known as “F3 South Charlotte”) – WE WILL ANSWER.

Operation Sweet Tooth (“OST”) is in full gear and we need your help.

The Mission:  Keep 8-year old Sweet Tooth’s memory alive.  Let her parents, Olive (F3 Nation) and Jager (FiA Nation), know that she lives on in the Hearts of the PAX through their own for the Charlotte community.

The Reason:  Our brother Olive shared his story with us earlier this year.  Read it here….or here.

The Need:  1) Toys for children of all ages, and 2) Everyday living supplies.

With Olive’s endorsement, F3 South Charlotte have chosen the Alexander Youth Network as very deserving recipients for our holiday season toy and supply drive. Alexander Youth Network (“AYN”) provides quality professional treatment to children with serious emotional and behavioral problems. We deliver an effective and efficient array of services, enabling children and their families to exercise self-determination, achieve their potential, and become positive contributors to society.

THE ACTION (ALL OF US):

1. Each of the below South Charlotte AOs will designate a OST Toy Drive Lead AND Toy Delivery Lead.
2. PAX will collect new toys, games, activity books, and hygiene items for children of all ages. The children who come to AYN are often in need of basic items such as toiletries, shoes and undergarments, to name just a few. AYN rely on the generosity of in-kind donors to ensure that each child has the clothing, supplies and personal items he/she needs in order to heal and realize their fullest potential. A brief list of current priority items can be found below. Please contact volunteer coordinator Ashley Nieves at anieves@alexanderyouthnetwork.org or 704.227.9115 for additional information on how to give.
   1. New clothing (pants, shirts, jackets)
   2. New undergarments (cotton sports bras or bra tops, camisoles, underwear)
   3. New swim suits
   4. New shoes (Velcro laces highly preferred)
   5. Pillow pets (new preferred, used for therapeutic purposes)
   6. Personal Hygiene Items (deodorant, toothbrushes, toothpaste, shampoo, conditioner)
   7. Art & School Supplies
   8. Educational Books (1st – 5th grade levels)
   9. New Blankets & Bed Linens
   10. MP3 Players & Headphones
3. Bring the toys you collected to the F3 South Charlotte Christmas Party on Friday, December 2, 2016. OR, if for some elaborate excuse you can’t attend, return to your respective AO and turn in your donations to your AO’s OST Toy Drive lead.
4. Toy Delivery Leads shall collect the donated toys and supplies and arrange for Operation Drop-Ship to AYN on Monday, December 5, 2016. All PAX are encouraged to post – to let our numbers count for something – and show Olive, Jager, and those children in need to see Strength in Numbers and Unity in Strength.
