Celebrating Relief Soceity Through Service


On March 27th at 6:30pm, we are celebrating the Relief Society birthday by doing three service projects. 
 
1. We are working with the Chester County Food Bank and their Weekend Backpack program.  This program provides backpacks filled with nutritious food for school aged children who wouldn't have any food during the weekend.  The food bank creates 300 backpacks monthly that go out to underprivileged children within our school districts. We have committed to providing the supplies for 30 backpacks.  The food bank will come to church on the 27th with the backpacks and we will fill them. Even if you can't make the event, you can donate food in the collection box we will have in front of the Relief Society room.  A list of food needed is on the clipboards in each of the 3rd hour meeting. 

2. We are packing 60 bagged lunches for the homeless at Safe Harbor homeless shelter in West Chester.  If  you would like to contribute any food products for this project there will be lists going around in which you can sign up.  We will be doing this the same night at the church. 

3. A group of 10 sisters will meet at Pocopson Nursing Home at 6:45 to run their Bingo night. Please sign up if you would like to come. 

If you have any questions about any of these events, please contact Arielle Kone or Debi Debenham. 

Thank you for all your help, and this should be a  great night!
