The Middle/High School Youth Group members had chosen a holiday outreach project. With your help they have met their goal to collect 70 bottles of Suave Body Wash (18 FL OZ), any scent. The youth will be creating a simple ornament to attach to the wrapped bottles. These gifts will be taken to the Hope Health & Rehabilitation Center to be distributed to each tenant and resident for Christmas. We are truly blessed to be able to provide this special gift to our senior friends! If anyone has purchased body wash for this project but has not brought it in yet, we'll still gladly take it to donate to Hope. They will surely appreciate it!
