Cash is also needed ($2 for shipping of each kit) as well as to help buy items to complete kits. Boxes will be placed at the entryways of the church or take your items to the church office. You can place your monetary donation in the offering, not in the box with the items. Cash donations can be given any Sunday in July. Be sure to mark your check or cash as In-gathering. Online giving is also an option (click here). For more information, visit the Ingathering page on the Conference website:
