Every year, a
national Make a Difference
Day is promoted throughout the United States to encourage people to
take an active role in serving others. Thousands of projects are either
begun or concluded on the last Saturday in October. This year, the
First Congregational Church on
Rock Street in Fall River chose to gather items to send to American
troops serving in Iraq. Up to and including October 27, 2007, Church
members collected items to send to soldiers in Iraq. On the 27th, they
met to package these items for shipment. Click to read about the
three other Make a Difference Day projects in Fall River, including
the
Greene School Clean-up. For more information about the First
Congregational project, contact Church secretary
Jennifer Rego at the church
office at 508-672-5862. |
