On Saturday, May 21, several members of the congregation met at Kwik Klean Laundromat in Decatur from 9:00 a.m. to noon to hand out quarters, laundry pods, dryer sheets, hangers, packaged snacks, bottles of water and laundry baskets to those who wanted a little help.  We had supplies for children’s activities if they wanted to color or do puzzles; two sweet girls each picked out a book to take with them.  Some folks were a little shy, but we let them know we just wanted to make their laundry day easier.  We also helped a few people carry some of their baskets and laundry supplies into the laundromat.  If we wish to revisit this Mission, we learned that we might need to set up at a later time.
