Mission in Memory and Honor Dresser Build

Saturday, November 2, 10am-12pm and

Sunday, November 3, 9-11:30am

In celebration of All Saints Sunday on November 3rd, Kirkwood United Methodist Church offers a special mission project honoring the memory of someone you have lost or someone special in your life by building and/or donating a dresser to Home Sweet Home. The IKEA dressers are small and very easy to construct, and make the perfect size dresser for a child. Would you like to honor someone and help provide  storage for the children of Home Sweet Home? 


Save the dates and watch for more information soon, including the cost of the dresser kits and the sign up to reserve your building time.
