Baby Shower for Missions

We are showering our Mission Closet with baby items! You can make a donation with “baby” in the memo or stop by the Baby Shower table in the hallway this week to learn more!
 
Help us keep items stocked for those in need by “purchasing” a gift. It’s easy! You make a donation for an item and we shop for it and keep items replaced in our closet. This allows us to have enough supplies on hand for when there is a need, but not be overstocked as we have limited space.
