Thanks to both a generous church and a generous community, our June collection for WRHM, which ended June 26th, did quite well.
After an earlier delivery on June 15th of two carloads amounting to 424 items, we delivered another full carload to the agency on Friday, June 25th of 300 items!
One of the women receiving our donations said, “No one in Webster Groves should be hungry or unhealthy after this donation! Thank you so very much.”
On our final weekend, June 26-27th, in spite of frequent rain & wind, our collection time and a late drop off resulted in 142 more items, including an entire
box of medical supplies and many personal hygiene items. These will be delivered on Tuesday, June 29th.
Thank you so very much to the many “hands in mission”who assisted in numerous ways.
The volunteers worked through extreme heat, strong winds, pouring rain, and the challenge of setting up or taking down the “tent” or awning, carrying
in the table and supplies, as well as counting and transporting all donations to storage places in Fellowship Hall.
Thank you, too, for those who gave their time and energy to help find and put up the large banner and help take it down again.
