Needs

One immediate need some of our ward members have is boxes and packaging tape.  The families that have to move are needing to box up the items they have been able to salvage as they prepare to move to their temporary housing.  If you have any please let me know (home: (309)481-5140 or cell: (309)472-5481) and I will let you know where to bring them. UPDATE:  for now I think we may have enough boxes.  I will let you know if we need any more later.  Thank you!

Please scroll down to the previous blog post for information on what our ward is doing today and the next few days!

If you know someone looking for a small place to buy:  Craig Shurtleff informed me there is a home for sale at 103 E Jefferson.  He went through it this morning saying it is old but nice.  The owner wants to sell, not rent.  The home is 780 sq ft upper - 2 bedrooms, with finished basement 550 sq ft.  She is asking $114,000.  If you know of anyone who is interested please contact me and I will send you more detailed information or contact the owner Mary A. Eichorn 309-444-2412.

Connie Klein shared this message from facebook with me if you are looking for something to do to help in the next few days:
