Donated cash can be used to purchase any of these items.



There is an opportunity to donate your time and volunteer to help Sister Simmons on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays from 1-5. It does not have to be a weekly assignment but something we can rotate between all of us.



Donations can be dropped off in the Relief Society Meeting on Sundays or delivered anytime to Heidi Williams (801-566-6771).



A blog will be up and running soon to find announcements about upcoming events, critical shortage needs, great sales, and the progress we are making.



You are free to work on this humanitarian project on your own time and at your own pace. We will also be having regular get together times where we can work side by side and have fun together working on this project. These times will be in the RS announcements and on the blog. Hope to see you frequently working with us to make this project a success; your efforts will make a difference in this world.
