Women of Hope Women of Hope is going to take a break for a

few months and determine what format and

time will best suit our women. If you have

questions or suggestions please see Kenya.

Personal Care Pantry

The pantry will be open to pre-screened clients

of Love, INC Friday, October 20th from 4-6

p.m.

We received a donation of a five gallon bucket

of laundry detergent. It might be possible to

continue receiving these. However we need a

way to distribute it. Please save any empty

containers from your liquid laundry

detergent. Any size is fine as we have singles

and families that use the pantry services. We

are then going to try to transfer the detergent

into your containers for distribution. Wish us

luck.

Operation Christmas Child

Our October Ministry of Compassion project

will be Christmas Shoeboxes. Begin collecting

goodies to include in these boxes. We will be

packing boxes for both boys and girls of

various ages. For ideas on what to include go
