Women’s Ministry is sponsoring a Christmas wish drive for girls living at a long term Psychiatric facility. When asked what they wanted for Christmas, a recurring request was made… warm blankets! Please donate a NEW soft fluffy twin size blanket or large throw to make these girls feel loved. We need 20 more blankets and cannot be bigger than twin size which is the facility requirements and no knitted afghans. The facility is quite cool.
