SOS NEEDS YOUR HELP!

Our 40 member "Sharing our Strength" team from New Hope heads out for the mission trip to Mozambique in about a month! Would you like to be involved in the mission even though you're staying home this time? Along with VBS, the water well drilling project and building a school, our group will also be running a MEDICAL MISSION to the local community. The health situation is so poor there, and we expect to impact hundreds of people in need. We are looking for donations of new, unopened bottles of a number of vitamins and medications that will be given out during the medical clinic. Items needed are:

1) Children's chewable multi-vitamins
2) Adult multi-vitamins
3) Acetaminophen for adults (Tylenol or generic brand)
4) Acetaminophen for children (160mg elixir and the 80mg infant drops)
4) Ibuprofen (Motrin or generic brand)
5) Reading glasses in all strengths (these are sometimes available at the dollar store)

There will be a box marked "S.o.S. /Mozambique Medical Mission Donations" in the lobby until Saturday, June 28. Monetary donations that will go towards the purchase of these supplies are also greatly appreciated (you can put "Mozambique Medical" on your envelope). Thank you in advance for supporting this effort!
