October will be dedicated to collecting children’s socks and underwear for FISH.
We will utilize the same rubber tub in the Narthex that was used for project Yellow Ribbon and the personal care products. Thank you for your generosity!
With all the devastation surrounding us because of Ida, we will be postponing this to a later date.
