Vashti Bedding Drive - 2019
The Vashti Center in Thomasville is conducting a bedding drive. Mattresses have an assigned lifespan and must be replaced. We are now at the point of replacement. A donation of $275 will provide a mattress, mattress protector, pillow, and pillow protector for one of our teens. Our goal is to sponsor 37 beds. Please consider a sponsorship. Your gift will brighten a room and offer the healing comfort of home to one of our youth. (The Vashti Center is our Mission Emphasis for February.) Vashti Needs
