RA's Invite You to be Part of the Mission Room!

Due to the increase in unemployment, the RA's have seen a need to prepare and use the mission room earlier than planned. If you would like to help, please donate new or gently used clothing of any size/season for us to have available for families in need. Any donations may be left in the parlor and we will bring them to the Mission Room each week. We are blessed, so help us be a blessing to others!
