Thank you, ISU Women Club (Stitchery)

Thank you to the ladies of Stitchery (ISU Women Club) for their labor of love. The ladies provided their own supplies and equipment. The ISUWC Stitchery Division constructed over 60 "Dresses for Africa" and "Britches for Boys" on November 4. We appreciate their donation of hand-made dresses for our container.

What a team effort! Thank you!

Dear Friends,

I am glad to report that we have enough items to fill the 40 feet container we are sending to bless orphans, widows and the poor in Chinhoyi, Zimbabwe. Thank you for your generosity in providing clothing, books, sewing machines, fabric, and household supplies. The container will be loaded here in Ames next Saturday, November 16, 2013

The only remaining items that we are looking for are twin size metal bed frames. They will be used to create bunk beds for post-high school orphans and college students who will live at our Community Center where they will receive ministry and life skills training.

• For those in Ames who have metal bed frames to donate, please email Mike (lifetolifeafrica@gmail.com) to arrange a drop off or pick up.
• If you are outside Ames and can deliver them, you can coordinate with Mike for the drop off. 

We will need these metal bed frames by November 14, 2013.

• First Evangelical Free Church of Ames, IA
