The team had a great planning meeting last week, which included a phone call with John Alden!!
We are super excited about this year's trip as always and are getting ready. Already there are 9 suitcases in Pastor Richard's office waiting to be filled.

2. Scrubs, especially small and extra small (expect white & blue)

3. Tape for nurse use

4. IV extensions (up to 4”)

5. A variety of over-the-counter meds especially children’s

meds at cost if you so choose to donate funds to the mission trip...Thanks!)

6. Prenatal vitamins.

7. Infant (especially preemie) and children’s clothing to age 8 years

8. Toothbrushes and toothpaste
