Heading to the store? While you're shopping, consider picking up one or two extra hygiene items to donate to the upcoming Hygiene Drive. Small donations can make a big difference! ❤

Bring your donations to the theater on October 4th when you see the movie THE CASE FOR CHRIST, or drop them off ahead of time if you don't plan to see the movie.

Thank you to Stacys sweetstuff for sponsoring the free movie and heading up the Hygiene Drive.
