Homeless Care Packages

We are so thankful for the donations that are coming in, but more are still needed until our Caring Hands Members can pack them.

Please take the time to go into the Amazon Wishlist and purchase something for those who are struggling during these bitter cold times. Every little bit helps.

The Caring Hands project for the month of January is putting together Homeless Care packages that will be distributed by the local non-profit Better Days Ahead.

The hope is that each of your families will access their Amazon Wishlist and select something to give.
