Alpha Alpha’s Outreach Project

 

 

Alpha Alpha continues to support the Bristol Cancer Association as our charitable outreach ministry.  Each member is urged to bring the following items to monthly meetings for donations: monetary contributions, new bed linens, towels and wash cloths, bath soap, shampoo, lotion, bedclothes, and robes.

 

A basket will be provided at each Alpha Alpha meeting to collect the items that you bring to be taken to the Bristol Wellmont Hospice House for home health care nurses to give to area cancer patients.  This is a great need in our community.  Audrey Doak, Dorothy Knisley and Jean Thomason are volunteers for the Hospice House.
