Midwest Mission continues to collect and ship supplies. Their supply of disaster relief are getting heavily depleted as they send supplies to areas affected by the recent hurricanes. To learn what they need right now, visit their website. Supplies and kits can be dropped off at several of the drop-off sites in our conference; see the image to the right.
