We need funds to buy supplies to help those in need, as well as honor those in our church and community who are widowed, elderly, have serious health conditions, or are in assisted living. We need to purchase a few grocery store gift cards and lots of fruit. We also need folks to bring individually wrapped Christmas cakes, cookies, and candies. (There is a basket in the foyer.) We will also need help with assembly and distribution of the baskets. Thanks!
