SEPTEMBER UCC NEEDS
United Community Centers needs money for school uniform polo shirts for elementary kids. If you give your money through the church, we can purchase the shirts as tax deductible and at a group discount price. The generous donation of uniforms this summer is being used wisely. However, we found there is a void in school polo shirts for children. We need to buy most of the shirts. Thank you for your generosity this summer with donation of clothes. The needs are great.
