Volunteers Served Others by Creating Rice Meal Packs in September
Midwest Mission is grateful for all the churches and volunteers who stepped up to make Rice Meal Packs in September..
Did you know one assembly line accommodates 8 to 10 people, creating approximately 175 bags (1,050 meals) in an hour? For each $1 bag, six people can eat a nutritiously balanced meal.

Bicycle & Sewing Machine Update
|
|
Thanks to your generosity we now have a plentiful supply of electric sewing machines and bicycles needing repairs that will last until at least the end of the this year. We will be sure to let everyone know when our supply is low again. We do not have the space to continue to accept these items at this time.
We will continue to accept bicycles that do not need to be repaired and are currently rideable. We will always accept treadle sewing machines.
Do you have the skills that are required to repair bicycles and electric sewing machines? Would you be willing to volunteer at Midwest Mission? If so, please call our office and set up a day and time you would like to volunteer. Midwest Mission is a great place to volunteer!
