SPECIAL REQUESTS FOR MAY AND JUNE

REPLENISH RESTORE

In honor of Mother’s Day in May and Father’s Day in June, our friends at Restore asked if we would include basic toiletry items in our monthly donations: men’s and women’s deodorant, body soap, toothbrushes and toothpaste, shampoo and conditioner, and sunscreen. Restore Volunteers shared that these personal items often go unpurchased by persons that receive assistance from Restore because of their cost. It would be an incredible gift for SSUMC to stock Restore’s shelves with these items during the early Summer months. Please consider adding these items to your May and June donations.

​

REMINDER: FIRST SUNDAY FOOD PANTRY 

NEXT SUNDAY: MAY 5TH
