We are teaming up with the Boy Scouts to help a local family who lost their house to a fire. This is the same family who lost their 10 year old daughter last May in an auto accident. I have spoken to the family and she said they are in need of household items such as dishes, silverware, pots and pans, glasses, and bedding for queen and twin size beds. We will be collecting these items on Monday March 3rd at the Loranger Methodist Church at 6pm. Please call or text me or your leader if you would like to donate something.....thank you....
