Household Blessings

Household Blessings will collect items the first full weekend of each month, on Saturdays from 4:30-5:00pm and Sundays from 8:45-9:15am and 10:15-10:30am at the storage garage in the far northern parking lot. You can also call Donna or Mari with requests for drop-offs or pickups at other times. Items will not be collected or stored in the church office or at other locations on campus.

Household Blessings works with ministry partners to supply New Home Starter Kits — the necessary items to set up a home. Requested items include kitchen items, linens, furniture, and clothing — all in clean, usable or wearable condition.

Is this ministry calling you? The group welcomes new members! Call Donna Elmquist (520.603.2399) or Mari Eklund (520.870.1772) with questions or donations. The group meets monthly to sort, pack and distribute items.
