Thank you for your overwhelming response for Hurricane Katrina Relief Efforts by sending various goods. Due to the overwhelming response like in Exodus 36:4-5, we have enough and too much and we will no longer be accepting clothing and food donations. Although we have ceased non-monetary donations, you may still contribute to the efforts by giving a monetary donation to the Love Relief Program through Light Commerce Credit Union. Please call 281-876-7576 to give your donation.
