Ministries. You can join us in this ministry in 10 different ways:

Financial
Support: It takes regular support by Churches and Individuals to keep
the ministry running smoothly. Although most of our financial support
comes from churches, we also receive support from individuals, clubs,
organizations, and interested groups. You can give a monetary donation
right on-line!
-
Donations:
We often receive donations of dry goods, clothing, school supplies,
and paper goods. These are sometimes collected by youth groups, ladies
groups, the boy scouts, and Vacation Bible School kids. We also have a
list of things that we use a lot or need.
