ANNOUNCEMENTS


SCHOOL GIFT

Sister Leola Tooks and Sister Cheterria Williams took the Mission's check to East Antioch Elementary School.  The principal, pictured, was so appreciative of the donation.  She stated that the school has an account that it uses for kids that may need a coat, a pair of shoes, food, or other necessities and the money we donated would be placed in that account.  We are so grateful to you Mt. Olive for the contributions you make to the Mission fund.  Your generosity helped us make this difference in some child's life.  Thanks and blessings to all of you!










CLOTHING COLLECTION

The Mission will be collecting new or gently used clothes for men and women during the entire month of October.  Please bring your items to the church and place them in the "dessert room" in the basement.  These clothes will be given to "Dress For Success" that helps unemployed and underemployed women and men by providing attire to thrive in work and in life.  Your gently used clothing gives them a new start.  You may bring the clothing in bags or on hangers.  If you have any questions, please contact one of the Mission ladies.
