STEP 1: Pick a Themed Basket from the list below or come up with your own idea. Let Bridget.Lenhardt@uss.salvationarmy.org at 817-860-1836 know which theme you are going to collect new items for...that way no other group will collect items with that theme.

STEP 2: Ask your co-workers, family, neighbors, and friends to contribute items for your Themed Basket.

STEP 3: The items listed below in each basket are ONLY suggestions. You and your group can determine the kind of items and the number of items that go in your basket.

STEP 4: Deliver your Themed Basket and the contents to The Salvation Army, 712 W. Abram, Arlington by Wed. February 20, 2019 or contact Bridget.Lenhardt@uss.salvationarmy.org and she will pick up your items/baskets. If you wrap the basket please do so with a clear covering.

STEP 5: Please list on a sheet of paper the items in your basket and the (estimated) total dollar amount for the items and basket.
