Help Needed on Wednesdays at the Care Center!

A couple of our Wednesday volunteers have had to take

some time off for health reasons. Could you please step in and fill their place for a few weeks till they have recuperated

and are able to come back to the Care Center? We need you to help fill grocery orders

Wednesdays 10 a.m. - 1 p.m. I look forward to hearing from a couple of you saying

"YES" I will come and help!

Thanks so much! Kathy Holler

Also, we appreciate your help with grocery bags. In fact, your help has been so overwhelming that we currently

are over-stocked on them. We will ask again when we begin to run low.
