Belize and the Day of Service

SHLC is going on a Mission Trip to Belize in April and are beginning to collect embroidery supplies for our mother’s day activity with high schoolers! If you have any new/used embroidery hoops, embroidery thread, embroidery needle(s), small items/things that can be embroidered on such as pillowcases, rolls of a burlap that can be cut down to bookmarks to be embroidered for their moms or anything you can think of they can use. We are also hoping to collect new or used Chromebooks! Any of these items can be brought in to the church office during the week or to worship on a Sunday.

Helping Give Back and the Day of Service   

www.HelpingGiveBack.org Founded by Aleta in the church office. HELPING GIVE BACK is participating in the Day of Service for 2024!!!! That means for the Day of Service, gift cards will be collected for our 2024 HOMELESS HOLIDAY GIFT DRIVE fulfilling the small actual wishes of the homeless! These gifts cards can be from Amazon, Ross or Marshalls.  

Blanket Making and the Day of Service

The Blanket Making Event is our oldest and largest attended and quickest to fill up event with volunteers. People from all ages and all walks of life come around a table and make fleece blankets which are then delivered to local organizations that are so appreciative. The cost to make these blankets have gone up (along with everything else) from $20 to $25. If you could help us with the cost of 1 blanket the DOS team would be able to continue this event in the years to come.

BELIZE USED OR NEW LAPTOP DONATIONS 

SHLC is looking for two or more used laptops in good used condition or new that will be left for the students to use at school in Belize. If you have a laptop, you can drop them off to the church on a Sunday or to the church office Monday-Thursday during office hours.  We have finished collecting suitcases for Belize.
