At Hospitality House, relatives will get a place to stay and donated food to cook. But the facility is referred to by all involved as a ministry, and the gift bags are just one example of that. While women are sewing the bags and collecting items for them, Girls in Action are making encouragement cards to stuff in them. Normally, projects sponsored by the WMU are done by members, but this one is so large that other denominations are invited to participate by taking items to Pioneer Drive Baptist Church's children's building at 701 S. Pioneer. Burton said she doesn't know how many bags will be prepared, but she has high hopes.
Plans are for the project to be ongoing.
The group also is collecting light colored twin twin size sheets, towel sets, blankets and non-perishable food items. Call Burton at 672-8059 for more information. E.W. Scripps Publications , All Rights Reserved. Site users are subject to our User Agreement . We also have a Privacy Policy .
