OGHS for Children and their Families
There are some fun learning tools for children and “fishbanks” (coin banks ready to be colored and assembled) designed in calendar form to create awareness in bite-sized (daily) pieces of needs around the word and some of the way small and large that we may be of help. Couriers Matt Biskup and Alex Evangelista will be delivering OGHS supplies along with a few other Lenten surprises to children age 4-5th grade the week of February 15.
