REFILL THE CLEANING SUPPLY CLOSET: The Childcare has another Thrivent Action Team project beginning. The project is “Refill the Cleaning Supply Closet”. This winter season has depleted supplies drastically. We received “$250 to get it started. Detergent, Softsoap, Dishwashing Liquid, PineSol, Disinfectant Wipes, Baby Wipes and Kleenex have been purchased. Each of our children are going to bring in 1 item on the list. (Mainly a box of tissues or either type of wipes…these go quickly). A Rubbermaid container will be in the office for the children to fill. If you would like to help them fill the container, please leave your item in the dining hall or in the back of the church. We hope these viruses slow down soon. Thank you in advance for any help you can provide.
