Due to a fire that destroyed an apartment building in Altona this past week, some newcomer families have been left with little or no household & personal items. Please pray for these families as they recover from this traumatic experience.
You can help…Build a Village has been working tirelessly to find alternative housing for these families but will need the community to donate gently used or new household items and/or help out financially for things like grocery gift cards, window coverings, etc.
