Request a Care Package or Help us to send Care Packages :

Several times a year we send care packages to those who are serving out of the country.  You can help us in two ways:

1. By donating items for the care packages, which we are always collecting at the church. Please consult the list of suggested gifts toward our care package ministry.
2. By letting us know the name and information for someone who is serving overseas. See below for details on submitting this information.
