Goodwin Update 12/23

I was able to spend some time today organizing shoes, clothes, winter apparel and Christmas gifts.  I have an updated list of needs as well as more opportunities to help the family.

First off, Dover Baptist Church is having a Christmas Eve service "A Simple Gift" at 6:30 pm at 151 Washington Street Dover, NH 03820.  There will be a "Giving Tree" with ornaments you can take and on each ornament will be a gift request for the Goodwins.

Needs:

*Updated (12/24): If anyone knows of a house for rent in Strafford that would fit a family with 6 kids please contact Bambi at 742-8182. Adam and Kelly really need to stay in Strafford because 5 of the kiddos are in the Strafford school system.  Adam needs work pants (Carhartt, Dickies etc.) and outdoor working clothes, he is a 36/32 pant and a Med/Lg shirt.

***
Meals are still needed and appreciated.  There are no food allergies.  Meals and groceries can be delivered to Bambi's house at 223 Clement Rd. in Rollinsford, NH.

Immediate needs are as follows: bureaus, church clothing (dressy clothes), new underwear and socks, towels, and the littlest child needs size 3T clothing.  The family is all set with winter jackets and accessories.  Click here for clothing sizes.

Other ways to give are by the secure ChipIn widget on the right column of this blog.  Donations can also be deposited in the "Adam and Kelly Goodwin" account at either Holy Rosary Credit Union or Northeast Credit Union.

Gift cards are still warmly welcomed.  Something they would love is gift cards for take-out and drive-thru restaurants.  Think McDonald's, Dunkin Donuts, Pizza Hut and any delivery services in the Rochester/Somersworth/Rollinsford area.

After the holidays there is going to be a need for storage space as well as loading and transporting goods.

A quick thanks (with many more to come) go out the the Children's Museum of NH for providing admission tickets for the family and to the NH Seacoast Project Linus for providing blankets for the family.

What Dover Mops is up to..

We finished up our last meeting with a bang. We had our pastors wife in to speak to us about going back to school when your children are all grown up and moved out. It was amazing to hear her speak about how she went back to school and fulfilled her dreams. She is an amazing lady that we all look up to very much. We also had a little ceremony for the children that will be no longer apart of our Moppets program. They are now off to school.. We gave gifts to our Moppets workers in appreciation for all they do for our kids.

Laura and I are also very excited about our new coordinating positions. We are planning a retreat for August to take our steering team away for the weekend to bond and plan the coming years' curriculum.

We want to Congratulate Laura, Jon, and Tanner Groen and her family as they welcome the newest addition to there family Case William, weighing in at 10lb 2oz 21in. He and mom are doing great. We are planning a baby shower for her and Case on June 27th at 5pm. I will keep you posted on how that goes.

On Monday we will be going strawberry picking (if the weather allows us) at Butternut Farm. We will be meeting at 1:30pm. I will post pictures.
