The Sunday School is collecting items to help fill the current pantry and hygiene needs at the Grassroots Crisis Intervention Shelter. Please see the list of needs below. There will be a box for donations in the Narthex through Sunday, April 21. If you would like to donate a gift card to Wal-Mart or Giant instead, please give directly to Kate Richer. We will either donate the gift cards to the shelter for their use, or we will use the gift cards to shop for needed items to donate.
If you have any questions, please contact Kate at katericher77@gmail.com.
Thank you so much for your support!
