Thank you to Anita, Brenda, Frances, Vikki, Paula, Lois, Dan and so many volunteers for your generous time during this difficult time.  Thanks also for the generous assistance of our food donors who have faithfully provided a wide variety of food donations to keep us stocked and functioning.

Please do not leave WeCare gifts-in-kind at the church or parish office. You can call either Anita  or Brenda for pickup of any and all WeCare donations such as pots and pans, furniture, mattresses, chairs, tables, etc.

You can always call Anita or Brenda when you are unsure if what you would like to donate is something that WeCare can use.

If you have clothes you would like to donate, please call the Coalition for Human Care, Habitat for Humanity or GoodWill for their hours and drop off locations. 

Thanks to Anita, Brenda and all We Care volunteers for their constant assistance to the needy. Here is their report:

We are in need of dish sets at this time and any size beds.
 
Prayerfully,
Anita and Brenda
