Relief Society Service Projects Help Women's Center

    Janet Cook, right, helps Angie Bosworth pack donated items to make hygiene kits to be given to the Women's Center in Stockton, which also services Lodi.  Angie is the ward Relief Society weekday meeting coordinator who planned this project because she felt it was important to give to the community and help those in need.

   Sisters in the Mokelumne River Ward donated 24 blankets, 20 pairs of gloves, 53 scarfs, 132 hats, and 50 hygiene kits to the project.  The Women's Center counsels and  helps those in difficult family situations including runaway children, and domestic  violence. Men, as well as women and children can receive these items.

   Thirty to thirty-five sisters joined on a Thursday night to make blankets, crochet hats and pack kits.
