Thanksgiving In Action!

Below is a list of items that you will need to purchase for each box. You can buy a few items a week, if you want, but the complete list needs to be at the church no later than November 13th. The First Christian Church Olathe will add a turkey, a container of whipped topping, a package of rolls, a bottle of oil, a bag of flour and a bag of sugar when they distribute these groceries the week before Thanksgiving.

1 Can of Sweet Potatoes

1 Pkg of Small Marshmallows
