The Children’s Ministry of Aboite will be sponsoring a supply and clothing drive for Charis House.
Charis House is the women and children division of the Fort Wayne Rescue Mission. Not only do they supply material for these families, they also minister to them and help them get back on the right track.
We will be collecting items on Sunday, March 16th from 9:00am to 12:00pm at the church. You may also drop off these items in the church office anytime before that date.
I have also included a list of items below which they are always in need of. Please feel free to donate gently used women and children clothing and shoes.
I sincerely hope you will help support this wonderful organization. If you have any questions, please contact me (Tama) in the church office at 436.5673×10. Thank you!
