Paper & Hygiene Products for SELCC—Sunday, December 21st

The SELCC food bank (open Tuesday mornings) has enough food, but clients are often in need of things like toilet paper, tissues, feminine hygiene products, shampoo, conditioner, soap, lotion, etc. (Food stamps cannot be used for any of these items.) Let’s step in and help provide these very nec-essary items. Please bring donations of any of these items to worship on December 21. Thank you!
