Community Coming Together

The congregation at Faith Lutheran Churchin Bloomington had a lot going for them last week. They began construction on a large addition to their church and they hosted their annual vacation Bible school called Spirit Camp.

Every year, Spirit Camp chooses an organization to donate items which the children bring with them as they walk into the church. This year The Salvation Army was approached and we gave a list of items that shocked the congregation.

Instead of asking for canned goods, The Salvation Army requested personal items such as soaps, shampoos, diapers,  toilet paper and feminine products. The Hoosier Hills Food Bank does a great job of keeping our pantry stocked. but more and more clients have begun to ask for personal items.

The Faith Lutheran Youth (FLY) group was called up upon to help raise awareness and collect the items for The Salvation Army.

And did they ever succeed; Faith Lutheran Church donated close to 300 pounds!
