Salvation Army

It's time to start collecting items for our annual campus Family Sponsorship program with the Salvation Army. This year there is a shortage of toy donations for children, most specifically babies, toddlers, and teens from 14-17 years old.

If you would like to contribute please bring your unwrapped items to the donation box in Michelle Hutt's office.

Thank you for making the effort to participate, the Salvation Army is very grateful of our ongoing generosity.
