2 Constellation School: Westpark Middle School Blesses Christ s Cupboard Thank you to Ms. Kidd and Ms. Turtoi along with the staff and students at Westpark Middle School! The students had a school dance and to be admitted to the dance they donated personal hygiene items which were donated to Christ s Cupboard. Christ s Cupboard Held Another Giveaway We had another successful giveaway and it would not be possible without the support of others. One woman left in tears because she was able to get brand new coats for all of her grandchildren. Another sent a letter saying how much she appreciated the giveaway. She had been robbed and this made it possible for her to replace some of the items that were stolen. Some of our volunteers were people we have helped in the past and they wanted to give back. Thank you Lord for your provisions and making this possible. Page 2 Volume 18, Issue 3
