Dear Church Family –

On October 2 the FMY will be assembling CARE packages for students who graduated last year. Many of them are away at college and ALL of them would enjoy a CAREpackage from home. There are three ways that you might help us: 1) Write a note to one of the students listed below; 2) Give us some shoe boxes to pack our goodies in; and 3) Give us some money for both the ‘stuff’ and the postage (you can make a check to: Greenville FMY).Here are the 26 people we will be making packages for (notice we have one exchange student as well):

Any donations/letters/shoe boxes can be dropped off at the church office.

Thanks for your help, Greg & the FMY
