St. Stephen's

A box broke in a transport truck on its way to Sam’s Club and someone in the truck remembered Chard Wray. As a result, we have Parmesan cheese to give to families this coming week. Everything that comes into Chard Wray is a gift that goes out to the families that need help. During  the month of October we served 755 families. Please continue to save your grocery bags and look for deals on soup and holiday staple products.   "Feed My Sheep".


Another way to support Chard Wray is donating to Brynne Jackson, who is raising donations for her senior project.
