Remember Teaching House needs
As the need for our Housing Ministry continues to grow;
so does our need for household items to start up a household with.
Many of our families come with only the clothing on their backs
(others are lucky enough to have furniture in storage).
So for those that have nothing we outfit their home, a teaching house, with whatever has been donated.
We can always use gently used household items.
We have also created a wish "list" at Target.
You can check it out at the store or on
www.target.com.
Click on "find a list"; first name: teachinghouse; last name ccm; and then search.
If you have any questions please email
ccm@cooperativeministry.com. THANKS!!!
