Lives on Fire: All Bound Up Together
Rev. Joanna Fontaine Crawford

Share the Plate
In February all checks and envelopes marked "Share the Plate" and half of all undesignated cash will go to support the mission of Austin Diaper Bank. Austin Diaper Bank is dedicated to providing diapers to Central Texas families who need a clean, reliable supply of diapers for a healthy and comfortable quality of life. They support over 10,000 families in Central Texas each year. In Central Texas, 1 in 3 families goes without clean and dry diapers. Austin Diaper Bank is on a mission to MAKE 1 in 3 NONE IN 3. Their goal in 2019 is to provide 600,000 diapers and we can help make that a reality.
