Giving Saturday 2.0 -- June 13

Giving Saturday 2.0

A big thank you to all those who made contributions to UCHM, Waterstep and McCreary County on Saturday, May 9. Crescent Hill folks have always been generous when there is a need.
We are planning a repeat on Saturday, June 13 from 10 - 2. Donations will be accepted for UCHM, Kentucky Refugee Ministries, Waterstep, and La Casita. We are also collecting items for a Virtual Baby Shower for Solange and Victor (they are the refugee family we helped sponsor this past fall). 

Virtual Baby Shower for Solange and Victor
A electronic sign up list has been created so that we can make sure that we receive needed items for the family and help ensure that we will not receive duplicates.  Please go to https://www.signupgenius.com/go/30E084DA4A922ABFD0-virtual
