NEW ITEM FOR SALEM PANTRY
JULY, AUGUST AND SEPTEMBER
“Reading is Fundamental”
To support the Salem Pantry during the months of July, August, and September, Missions is collecting donations of new or used (good condition only please) books for all ages (all languages welcome).
The growing literacy crisis is troubling and Missions is aware that our previous donations of reading materials were a great hit at the Pantry.
Books can be left at the church in the narthex. Missions has put together an amazon Wishlist & has provided amazon with a delivery address of a mission’s member that will be automatically supplied if you choose to use the wishlist. https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/8Z9UN68AM89K?ref_=wl_share
