*The Siebring Project to send a container of warm clothes, blankets, food, etc. to the Ukraine still needs more items to fill the container and really needs people to give money toward shipping this container to the Ukraine. Items for the container can be dropped off at Justice For All in Rock Valley. Money toward shipping the container: checks should be made to “Aid for Ukraine” and sent to Security Savings Bank, P.O. Box 128, George, Iowa 51237. Thank you so much to those of you who have already given. Please continue to pray for this project and the Ukraine. Any questions call Carol Groen at 605-940-7237. We can accept items until Thanksgiving and money for shipping can be sent at least till December 15.
