LAST SUNDAY FOR HAND SOAP!

Hands of Hope could use some hand soap! Either the individual pump bottles or larger refill bottles, Amanda Reeves reports that these would be a significant help. Staff and patients must wash their hands several times a day, and they use a lot of soap! Garbage bags are also a need, 13 gallon and the larger 33 gallon bags are used almost daily. When you're out shopping this month, throw an extra hand soap or box of trash bags in your shopping buggy, and bring it up to the church. We will deliver these items to Hands of Hope at the end of the month. Thank you so much for your help with this !
