Join us after service on February 26th (10:45 am – 12:00 pm) to pack hygiene kits to be distributed to VPI clients and to hear from VPI staff about their work and ways that the Reservoir community can be involved.
We will be collecting the items at church on the following Sundays: Feb 12, Feb 19 and Feb 26. The list of requested items is attached.
