Haiti Earthquake Donations

 

Donations are being accepted here through the One Great Hour of Sharing Missions Program. All donations are immediately mailed out to International Ministries and as long as we keep giving.


For cash and check donation, please use the One Great Hour of Sharing envelopes that are in the pew racks. Make checks payable to: "First Baptist Church Tewksbury" with the memo line: "Haitian Earthquake Relief". Place in the Sunday offering plate, or give to Ken Haslam or Ken Greathead. If mailing to the church, note on the envelope "Attn. Financial Secretary".

Tewksbury Food Pantry

 

The Mission Committee coordinates with the Tewksbury Food Pantry, which gives out bags of food to over 160 families. They are always in need of supplies. We have a blue bucket at the front of the sanctuary with a sign for the food pantry. If you want to donate canned goods, staple items, or paper products, please place them in the bucket. When the bucket is full, the contents are taken to the Tewksbury Food Pantry for distribution to needed families. Any help you can give is appreciated.
