THIS WEEKEND

HEIFER PROJECT COLLECTION
Heifer’s mission is to work with communities to end hunger and poverty and care for the earth. By giving families a hand-up, not just a hand-out, we empower them to turn lives of hunger and poverty into self reliance and hope. A special collection is taken the fourth weekend of every month. Please mark your check memo and/or envelope to identify this purpose to contribute to the Heifer Project.

MONDAY, APRIL 25 WE NEED YOUR HELP
Volunteers are needed at Helping Hands on April 25 from 10:15-11:00 to unload the truck and 11:00-3:00 to sack and hand out groceries.
