Lent Giving Drive
This year's drive is supporting the Good in the 'Hood food shelf at Crosstown by adding cleaning items to the distribution. We have identified six times of need:
Toilet Cleaner | Laundry Detergent| Paper Towels
Dish Soap| Hand Sanitizer | All Purpose Spray
It helps with distribution to have "uniform" products. We will have samples of products displayed at church. Please purchase products that are similar in brand and size to those displayed. You can make a purchase off our Amazon Wish List or shop on your own. The food shelf serves 35-50 families so this is our initial target collection amount. Questions? Contact the Community Caring Commission.
