More hygiene kits are needed! There is a list of the items and a sample kit on the table in the lobby. Everything can be bought at the Dollar store. There are also instructions on how to assemble these kits. Please bring your assembled kits, or just bring the items for kit(s) to the church and we will get them to the UMCOR Depot in Salt Lake City. Another way to help is packing hygiene kits. If you want to join other Methodists around Billings come to Grace UMC Tomorrow(August 12) at 6 pm. Bring a potluck dish and supplies for hygiene kits.

There is a clipboard on the “Volunteer for Shiloh” table and volunteers are needed at the garage sale to work 2-hour shifts from 6 am to 3:00 pm.
SEWING TEACHER AND QUILTER NEEDED–The Women’s Shelter has a sewing room but they have no one to teach the women how to sew. The shelter manager would love any support they can get because the women love learning to sew.

Also, if you quilt, we have all the pieces for another Shiloh UMC hand quilt. If you can help, please contact the office.
NEW FREE STORE PARTNERSHIP–A new thrift shop has opened at the corner of Minnesota and South 30thStreet.

If you have furniture to donate, consider this location! Many thanks for the continuing support for this important ministry. Please do not bring any furniture to SUMC or to EUMC.
