We are in need of hot chocolate packets for this month's community service project. It is preferred that the hot cocoa NOT have marshmallows but we will take anything! We will be passing these out as favors to the residents we visit at Towne Center on the 28th but would like them brought to the January meeting so we can have them for the craft making session on the 14th. We need individual packets, so if you have an opened box and can spare a few, that would be great! Thanks! !
