Stake Relief Society Women's Conference: Service

As part of the Stake Women’s Conference on February 6, we will be donating to three organizations: Dress For Success, Project Linus (makes blankets), and Cell Phones for Soldiers.

Two things to note regarding these donation projects:

These projects are not intended to burden any sister with unnecessary expenses. If you already have the items at home, you are welcome to donate them on February 6.

There is zero expectation that any items are bought for the express purpose of donating them at the conference.
