OUTREACH
          Variety of Outreach Projects
 
Each month a different organization is chosen for special support. Some of our target projects have included providing mosquito nets for children in Africa, solar stoves for women in refugee camps in Africa, shoes for the poor, and items for newborns in need for Parkland Hospital NNICU.  At Christmas we "adopt" families in need providing them with food, new clothes and toys among other goods.
