We Took the Hygiene Kit Challenge!

For the Northern Illinois Annual Conference in June, each district has been asked to get involved in helping those recovering from natural disasters by supplying items for the assembly of over 1,000 health/hygiene kits.

The Aurora District has been challenged to supply bars of soap and zip-closure 1-gallon plastic bags.

First United Methodist Church of Downers Grove has committed to bring 200 bars of soap and 200 zip-closure 1-gallon plastic bags. Soap should be bath-size in their original packaging. We have fulfilled our plastic bag commitment but we still need 83 bars of soap.

Donations will be accepted throughout the month of May in the Parlor on Sundays or in the church office. The last day for donations will be June 2. Please help us meet this challenge.
