Surprisingly, all stores cooperated. The care packages contained basic toiletries such as shampoo, soap and powder as well as a card telling the patients that they would be prayed for during the holiday season. When the project started, the students project and the group was very hap- thought that the packages would be py with the results.

The University of Houston community offered donations and neighboring supermarkets also helped support the project.

Instead, the CNSA members became overjoyed with Christmas spirit and hand-delivered the packages to the AIDS patients themselves. Participants of the event reflected on their efforts by remembering all the smiles and friendly faces.
