Mightly Missions for May
So many times community members come to WBLUMC for a much needed handout of food or gas cards. For the month of May the Mighty Mission’s are asking that you put your money where your mouth is and bring in one, or more, of the following items: Peanut butter, complete boxed dinners, soups of all kinds, hearty crackers, canned vegetables and fruits, vouchers for milk. The Children’s Mighty Team will put together 20 bags of groceries to hand out as needed. Thank you in advance for your help. Please bring in items on or before May 7th at 5:00pm.
