July Mission of the Month – 2021

We started worshiping in person in May, 2021 and after a few months we were back at it with our outreach work. Our July mission was to support Wise Hope Shelter and Crises Center which provides safety, strength and hope to victims of domestic violence and sexual assault in Wise, Jack and Montague counties.  Here is what we provided to them:

School supplies for the clients’ children included:

paper towels, paper plates, zip lock bags, facial tissues, sanitizing wipes.

For those living at the shelter, they were in need of laundry detergent, sanitizing wipes, feminine hygiene products, kitchen trash bags, individual mouthwash, bug repellent, local gift cards (restaurant, Walmart, gas), large and XL zip lock bags, facial tissue, coffee and coffee creamer, indoor/outdoor kids’ activities.
