More details to follow over the summer months.
The Outreach Committee has set a new collection container on the desk in the Narthex!! They are collecting the clear plastic caps from water bottles. These caps will be delivered to a patient of Ray Gronlund’s that will recycle for a cause. Please remember to recycle the caps—not just for charity, but for the environment!! They continue to collect the “aluminum tabs” from cans—these are collected for the Ronald McDonald House of Pittsburgh.
“Tabs with a Purpose” – the Outreach Committee is collecting “tabs” from the top of soup, can goods and beverage cans for the Ronald McDonald House in Pittsburgh. Your TRASH gives them CASH! Please deposit them in the container in the Narthex.
