Shoebox Items for March The Missions Board is beginning to collect items for the Operation Christmas Child Shoeboxes. Every other month we will suggest a few items we will be collecting. For the month of March, please bring in washcloths and bar soap. Leave your items in the drop-box available.

Operation Hope Tote is Underway! The Missions Board is offering the project “Operation Hope Tote”. Each spring, the Rescue Mission is blessed to have many churches and individuals demonstrate their care for the homeless by providing Hope Totes for guests to the mission. These shopping bags contain the hygiene items a client will need while staying at the Mission. The “Hope Tote” drive runs now through Palm Sunday. You can find a list of items to fill your bag with in the back of the sanctuary. After you have filled the bag, return them to Church and we will deliver them to GSRM. Your participation is greatly appreciated.
