Tie Drive, Tie Drive! Hearken, Ye!

We Are His Hands (S.O.S. Saturdays of Service) is currently holding a tie drive. Right now you may be wondering, What is a tie drive? How can I possible help? Why would people need ties? What am I having for lunch? Well, I can answer all but one of those questions!

What is a Tie Drive?

To understand this one you may need some background information.

In the LDS church, missionaries are sent out to many and diverse places around the world. They are constantly meeting people, trying to share messages about Jesus, hope, and happiness. When investigators decide that they would like to be baptized and they start going to church, they may face a problem. A problem we could fix.

Each Sunday the women dress in a dress or a skirt and top. Men dress in suits and ties. For new members (especially in cases of poverty or third-world countries) it can be hard to find something to wear. Going to church looking and feeling different from everyone else can make that person feel bad about themselves or feel dejected.

We would like to gather ties from around our neighborhoods, families, ward members, or friendly souls trying to help a bit. We will also accept donations for postage cost. We Are His Hands (S.O.S. Saturdays of Service) will package the ties and ship them according to need.

How You Can Help

I know a tie is a small thing, but I believe it could make a big difference. If we can help just one person feel better about themselves, and to be happy about something that is all theirs and just theirs, let’s do it.

If you have old ties, new ties, big ties, small ties, please donate! If you don’t have any of the above we will accept cash donations for postage. We guarantee this money will only be used for the cost of postage.

If you would like, we can also take a picture of you to send with the ties for the receiver. Sort of a “Hello, I sent this tie for you!” thing.

What You Are Having For Lunch

Try something new. Maybe a Caesar salad, or a chicken sandwich.

THANK YOU FOR TAKING THE TIME TO READ THIS. <3

Sincerely,

We Are His Hands
