Children are bringing home information today about items they can bring to help. Blessings to you all. Beginning Tuesday, Oct. 11th. The Love Project Committee will once again ask Zion families to collect food items for those in need. These items will be packaged and delivered on Thursday, December 15th along with donated meats, fresh fruits, vegetables, and other various items.
