Kits for ConferenceHelp us put together relief kits for use world-wide by UMCOR.
This year our focus is on school kits.
UMCOR School Kits for Conference As we prepare to reach our goal of 100 school kits for 2018, we are starting now to make the needed tote bags. We will need fabric hunters, material cutters, and sewers. We have a box in the Missions Zone with fabric that some of you have purchased and copies of the pattern are located on the outside of the box. For more information call Rosemary Budzynski at 804-789-1618 or e-mail at rosemary.budzynski@gmail.com.
