I have decided to volunteer and help with a collection for Mothers Refuge.  I am going to volunteer there next Thursday.  I am also going to help with a drive in the church called "Have a Heart for Moms in Need."  I will help put items on heart sticky notes and put them onto the giant heart poster board.  People will than take one of the sticky notes with an item on it and go and buy that item.  They will bring back the item to the church the next week.

I volunteered at Mothers Refuge on April, 14.
I shredded papers and helped them get ready for their Easter celebration.
I also helped make a "Have a Heart for Moms In Need" poster board that's in the back of church.

Mothers Refuge has provided a safe home of young mothers since 1987.  They have provided a home for over 1,900 young mothers.  It was founded by a group of concerned local citizens.  The church of Nativity sold Mothers Refuge their convent for a penny.  And it has been used as their shelter ever since.
