FOOD BUCKETS - Concord will once again be participating in the Holston Conference Hands-on Mission Project and provide food buckets to the Zimbabwe Ishe Anesu Project for Underprivileged Children. Our goal is to put together 50 buckets. If you would like to help fund this project, you can "purchase" a bucket for $50 or half a bucket for $25. This will pay for the food (canned chicken, sugar, flour, rice, dried beans, dried milk and vegetable oil), bucket, lid, and shipping. You can give online at concordunited.org/give and select Food Buckets or with a check with Food Buckets in the memo line. Right now, we are about half way to our goal.
