Service Committee
Our September Service Committee Focus will be to collect Personal Care Items, such as soaps, hand lotion, deoderants, toothbrushes, toothpastes/mouthwash, hand sanitizer, shampoo, combs, Bath Towels & Washcloths in order to provide at least 50 Personal Care Packets for the homeless women and children served by the Gateway 180 - Homeless Reversed organization.
Of course, we will continue to collect food items in the Food Barrels, both in the Narthex and by the lower level rear entrance (under the coat hangers)! The Summer food collected was taken to Feed My People, South County by Laura Brannan.
