Reverse Advent Calendar: December 1 – 24

Reverse Advent Calendar 
December 1 – December 24

Typically, advent calendars are filled with candy and you open one each day starting December 1 and ending on Christmas Day.  Reverse advent calendars allow you to donate or give something each day – thus, giving instead of getting.  

This year, we are donating all items to Mid-County United Ministries (MUM).  Plan to bring your completed box to church at any service on Sunday, December 24th (10:30am, 5pm, or 9pm).  The last day to bring completed boxes to church will be Sunday, December 31st.

Each day, add the following items to your box.  No glass jars – only plastic, please!

December 1:  Box of cereal

December 2:  Jar of peanut butter

December 3:  Bag of lentils

December 4:  Box of potatoes

December 5:  Macaroni and cheese

December 6:  Canned fruit

December 7:  Diapers or wipes

December 8:  Canned corn

December 9:  Pancake mix

December 10:  Jar of applesauce

December 11:  Canned vegetables

December 12:  Feminine hygiene products

December 13:  Canned beans

December 14:  Box of crackers

December 15:  Bag of rice – brown or white

December 16:  Package of oatmeal

December 17:  Package of pasta
