Soup Mix Challenge

While it’s technically still summer, we are already thinking about fall and what we will need for our next gift event for the kids. We need 1,100 individual packets of dry soup mix by September 30th. Can you help us? Any amount or any flavor will help tremendously. The kids really look forward to receiving the soup; it warms their hearts...and ours too! Any donations can be dropped off Monday thru Thursday at our Ministry Center, 9981 W. 190th Street, Suite I, in Mokena between the hours of 9am and 2pm. Thank you!
