There are collection bins in the community room for your donations to people who we support through:

  • End 68 Hours of Hunger- We highlight a few items every month that this organization could use for the backpacks that are sent home weekly to families that are experiencing food insecurity.  We gather the donations and bring them to the drop off location at Tuck Learning Center.
  • WIC (Women, Infants and Children): We continue to collect gently used and clean clothing for children, ages newborn to 8 years.
  • Homeless Youth:  We continue to collect gently used and clean clothing for youth ages 12-22.
  • Dignity Matters - Dignity Matters is a nonprofit organization that collects and delivers feminine hygiene products and underwear to women and girls who are homeless or otherwise in need, in order to help them stay healthy, regain self-confidence and live with basic dignity!  My colleague Cheryl and I have started a chapter to benefit the greater Manchester area.  We accept pads, panty liners, tampons, new underwear and new or gently used bras of any size.  We will be distributing our collection to homeless shelters in the Manchester area at first, then, as we establish relationships with other shelters, we hope to expand or efforts.  If you have any questions, please contact me, Keturah at kkreps44@gmail.com.  So, go check your closets for feminine products that you don't need/use (Yes, we accept opened packages) and check your drawers for bras that just didn't work out.  Bring them to church and drop them in the Dignity Matters box.  I'll take care of the rest.  Thanks so much!
