27 June: St. John Cares Night

St. John is supplying free socks and McDonald’s gift cards for our community on that night so those participating can in turn  give away those items to the homeless they see in their daily lives. 

There will be pizza and salad for those participates to come to our hall and wrap socks and gift cards (supplied free) with loving and spiritual sayings so they then will takes these home to personally share them with those experiencing homelessness by showing kindness and compassion. Those who want to donate free new socks to the cause are also welcome.
