Donations for Haiti
Mark and Jafta leave for Haiti in one week. As usual, we are going to try to take lots of donations in with us, because it’s the best way to get the missionaries new supplies. We have two big suitcases we need to fill! I know this is last minute, but if you are local and want to help, I will be collecting these donations all weekend. Our garage will be a collection center on Saturday and Sunday if you want to swing by. Some of this stuff you may have used, and other items can be purchased for $5-10 at Target or a grocery store. If you are running errands and want to pick up a few items, I know they would appreciate it so much. If you want to leave a donation, go here.

I wish I were local! Is it too late to get items to you via mail?
