Tip Corner

1. Avoid foam containers. They can’t be spray painted.
2. Ask fast food restaurants to donate corrugated sandwich containers or offer to pay a nominal amount.
3. As an alternative to sandwich containers, you can use baby wipe containers or small corrugated cardboard mailers (boxes) available at ULINE.com.
4. Remind the children that the best treasure in the whole world is the Bible.
