Socks and Underwear for Urban Ministries
The United Methodist Women are collecting socks and underwear for Urban Ministries. We were told that they have completely depleted their stock. They need all sizes, men, women and children. Small, medium, large, XL. During your shopping this Christmas season please think about picking up a package or two or three of socks and underwear. There is not a better feeling that putting on clean underclothes. This is important for families who have nothing. So, please help with this collection!
Collection boxes are under the angel tree at the end of the hallway by the cross.
Thank you for your generous open hearts!
