Newcomer gift baskets

When we arrived here two years ago, we were picked up at the airport, shoved into a hotel room and my husband was whisked off to work.  The kids and I were left alone in this new place, not knowing where anything was, very tired from our trip and had no food.  The entire hotel was filled with people in the same boat, so of cousre the snack machines were bare.  Luckily we had a bag of chips between the 6 of us at 3am when we all woke up starving.  We decided that we dont want anyone else to have to go through this who is coming into the unit, so we started putting together baskets. 


Of course in these there are no food, we don't want that all to go bad, so the new deal is that the sponsor takes them to get food, whether it be at the grocery store or at one of the shoppettes. I will also be working on a little booklet to give to them so that it can answer a few of their questions.  So this has been my little project for the last couple of days.  What do you think?
