You could also help us win one of the following two prizes if you donate between these two time periods.
From
1pm - 2pm
- If CROS Ministries receives the most first time gifts between 1pm and 2pm, we could win the removal of a full truckload of junk sponsored by Junk King. This would be great to help with our Administrative Office move coming up in the next few months.
