Community Aid Bin Placed in Parking Lot
As a parish, we are sponsoring a Community Aid clothing collection bin. It has been placed on the Brindle Hall side of the Church. For every pound of clothing we collect and donate, a stipend will be given back to us. The money we collect will be used to support our Youth Ministry Program. The bin will not conflict with our commitment to Jamaica. Community Aid will help us fulfill our commitment to our sister parishes while also supporting our brothers and sisters who are in need locally.
