Grace Shelter House: We have learned there is a huge need for personal items to be distributed to the homeless men in Madison. A few suggestions: towels, underwear, socks, toothbrushes, shavers, deodorant or other toiletries. So if you are redecorating your bathroom with new linens, bring your gently used linens to church and place in the boxes in the narthex. Pick up some extra toiletries at the grocery store or undergarments at the department store. Contact Gregg or Beth Steinhauer 846-3588 if you have questions or want to volunteer for the meal.
