Laundry Love
is doing more laundry than ever before! If you would like to help out, and do someone’s laundry, let the office know.
- Laundry Love needs extra tote/grocery bags so guests can carry their things home in comfort! If you have spare grocery/tote bags (those fabric-ish ones you pay 5 cents for are perfect) bring them by the church!
