Toothbrush, Washcloth, & Band-aid Sundays

How excited would you be if someone gave you a gift of a plastic zip lock bag containing a cheap thin washcloth and a toothbrush? I have seen how treasured and thrilling these items are to people in the Dominican Republic who come to the medical mission clinics. I will be going on my third trip in May, and we are in desperate need of these items plus band-aids for the clinic. Over the next few Sundays you will have the opportunity to participate in this wonderful mission. Bring to church with you these gifts:

Toothbrush Sunday January 25. Individually wrapped, adult and children’s (500 needed).
Washcloth Sunday February 1. Cheap thin type (500 needed)
Band-aid Sunday February 8. Assorted sizes (100 boxes needed).

Collection boxes will be located in the narthex and the parish hall. We need to have these by March 1. Thank you so much, Dale Finn.
