"A Gift Of Love"

The Eldorado Stake Relief Society is celebrating the Relief Society Birthday with a stakewide service project called "A Gift of Love". We invite all sisters to participate on March 14 from 10:30 - noon at the Arrowhead Chapel. We will be assisting a number of service organizations with specific needs by donating items from wishlists they have provided. We will be helping Gordon McCaw Elementary, Childhaven's Peggy's Attic, St. Jude's Ranch for Children, Military personnel serving from Nevada, and the Food Banks of Boulder City and Searchlight.

Below are the wishlists we have received from these organizations. We are asking that you look over these lists and donate what you can. Some things can be purchased, others we can all find in our own closets. All of the wards in the stake are receiving the same wishlists, so our ward is not expected to provide everything on each list.

You can leave a comment on this post of things you would like to donate. We also have a sign-up sheet in each of the binders at church on Sundays. Hygiene and Make-Up Kit items need to be collected by March 7th, and turned into the Stake. Other items can be brought to the Arrowhead Chapel on March 14th, the day of the Service Project. We will then join together to assemble the donated items on that day.
