Our Seeds of Kindness awards for October/November will be sent to the Bexley Education Foundation, $200, for the "Grow My Garden" program; and $200 to a family for break kits and a contribution toward a new helmet for their son with brittle bone disease.

December update:
*Our December project will be to collect gift cards to area stores that have both food, toys, housewares, etc. for the YWCA FAMILY SHELTER. The shelter doesn't have any storage space for actual gifts and they don't know how many families will be there at the holidays. Our gift cards will enable parents to purchase some items for their children. This shelter is unique because the fathers can also stay with their families. (Kroger, Target, Meijer, Aldi's, etc, suggested stores) Kris Tann and Barb Michael-Jones will coordinate this project. Cards need to be turned in by December 17th at our holiday luncheon.
*Bishop Griffin Resource Center-Reine Breitfeller has scheduled another opportunity to volunteer at BGRC for Monday, December 2, 10:00-12:00. SUG to go out this weekend.
