BLESSING OTHERS
 Our Build-a-Bag Workshop was on the patio last Sunday and several people made blessing bags to give to others in need. It's nice to have a couple bags in your car. We plan to have this resource available the first Sunday of each month!
We went through a lot of items and could use replacements. Please consider donating:
travel toothpaste
combs/brushes
first aide (band aids/Neosporin)
You can bring donations on Sundays or Mondays to our Drive Thru between 9-11am. Thank you!

DRIVE THRU MONDAYS
Thanks to our COFFEE MINISTRY for helping with our Drive Thru this week! They sold Fair Trade Coffee and collected lots of food for Caring Hands Food Pantry. Thanks to the Preschool we had a ton of extra food! They had a Canned Food Drive last week and the food is now going to feed hungry families! Thanks to everyone who continues to support Caring Hands Food Pantry.

Remember, when you SHOP -buy extra - and DROP in your trunk to bring on Mondays!
