Simply Essential

Simply Essential

Simply Essential is a ministry begun in response to the pandemic. Once a month we will distribute (by drive-up), basic household needs like soap and toilet paper for free. Anyone who is struggling during this time of crisis and might benefit from such help is welcome.

Thus far, we distributed 64 packages on June 28. We will be sharing again on July 9 from 2-4 pm.
