In an effort to help the needy, we are putting together
toiletry shoe boxes again this year. We gave out 125 last year. We
hope to put together 150 for this year. The need has increased. We
will be giving these out at Sunday Suppers the Sunday before
Christmas. We are dividing the list between area churches. Melanie
Clark has helped to divide the items of need between the sponsoring
churches of Sunday Suppers. Below is the list for Centenary: 150
toothbrushes, 150 toothbrush cases, 150 tubes of toothpaste, 150
combs, 20 boxes of pantiliners, 30 shoe boxes. We will be collecting
these items during the month of November and putting them together
in December. If you would like to assist in putting the boxes
together, you can reach me through the ministry phone number: (607)
794-0394 or leave a message through Centenary: 776-3434. Thanks so
much for all your support! I am blessed to be a part of such a
caring Church family! Lois Coulter, Shepherd’s Haven Homeless
Shelter.
