BLESSINGS BOX
Our Blessings Box is getting utilized by the community, which is great, but that also means that it is getting emptied out quite frequently. Please consider donating non-perishable food items, diapers, personal care items and snack food items (goldfish, raisins, etc) if you are able.
One person from the community told us she visits the Blessings Box at least twice a week and is especially grateful for the diapers and kid friendly foods. She says she stops by on the way to take her kids to the park and can almost always find a snack for them.

June Diaper Drive
Thank you to everyone who came to the Donuts and Diapers Kickoff party for our June Diaper Drive. We collected lots of diapers and wipes last Sunday but as you probably know, babies need a LOT of diapers and these will go fast!
If you didn't get a chance to bring diapers (or wipes) last weekend, you can bring them to the Fellowship Hall any time in June.
Our hope is to get a "back stock" of diapers to restock the Blessings Box as needed.
