$87.62 to purchase shoes for Hearts & Hands United Back-to-School Giveaway

HEARTS & HANDS UNITED GIVEAWAY
We reached our goal of 50 pairs of new, size 5 boy’s/men’s athletic shoes. The congregation donated 42 pair, and 8 pair were purchased from the Sulanke Trust account. Thanks to all who participated and helped to put smiles on many faces as they prepare to begin a new school year.

Note of appreciation from Al Holdren, Hearts & Hands United:
“Thanks so much for the shoes. Next year, let’s look to boy’s/men’s size 6. We have, because of you and your team, a nice abundance of 5’s for next year. Please tell everyone a huge thanks.”
