IAM:
The
need for food and personal care items to assist the needy of our
Henderson
County Community remains constant and urgent. Interfaith
Assistance
Ministry is a humanitarian organization that receives and distributes
canned
goods and personal care items for distribution to this needy element of
our society. Your Executive Board has chosen this
organization as
a recipient of our efforts in collecting such items for
donation.
Therefore, we will continue to collect such items at our monthly
meetings
for donation to IAM. Be sure to remember the
less fortunate in
our County by supporting the
IAM Food Pantry.
The focus for May is dry milk, saltine crackers, grits and rice.
As always, any donation will be welcome.
