January Mission of the Month – 2016

Gloria Sanders organized our January Mission of the Month.  She chose to collect socks, underwear and neutral-colored sweats for boys and girls, sizes 6-8 and 10-12.  Gloria said, “I was excited to use Bridgeport Elementary for our mission of the month because my daughter, Stacey, works there.  I have heard stories that so many children come to school with no socks, coats, or underwear.  If children accidentally soil themselves, the school sends them home in clean underwear, socks, and sweats. The children are so excited to receive these items.  It breaks my heart to think of children going without such basic items.”

Our contact person at the school was Kristen Shelton and she was overjoyed to receive the 3 boxes of clothing.  It is amazing how such a small congregation can give so much from their hearts to help others in need.  This is what Christ teaches and it is our goal to do whatever we can to assist.  Thank you all!
