REDISTRIBUTION.
SIMPLIFY.
SHARE WITH THOSE IN NEED.
We have many opportunities to practice these things in this season. We are currently looking for your donations of FOOD ITEMS as well as GENTLY-USED THINGS.
We have been challenged toward simplifying and living more humbly. Do you have things you can clear out of your home and instead redistribute to others?
