Lawn and Gardening Equipment Stolen

Can you help with a donation to replace gardening equipment? Security footage shows two individuals breaking into our outdoor shed on June 23 and stealing most of the machines which were on loan as we grow our grounds care ministry. We have collected a little over $500 towards our $2,500 replacement costs. Consider offering a small donation HERE. Our dedicated Parish Deacon, The Rev. Margaret McCauley, is leading the charge!
