Advent Women's Ministries Service Project
Collecting PAMPERS for Hannah's Home



 By collecting PAMPERS we will be donating twice.   The diapers will go to Hannah's Home and Pampers will donate the cost of one vaccine to help UNICEF protect a woman and her newborns against tetanus.   We will continue this collection now thru June 30th 2008.   There will be a collection basket in the Education Wing near the restrooms.   Please be sure your purchase has this sticker!
