Collecting for Missions

There are lots of things we constantly collect at Salem and pass on to ministries and missions that put them to good use helping others! There is a drop-off location in the hallway behind the sanctuary near the Choir Suite for each of these:

Food Items (Non-Perishable)
This tops our list as we collect items in the food barrels which we then distribute through Food Pantries in Rockdale and Newton Counties. NOTE FOR GOOGLERS: Sorry, but Salem does not have its own Food Pantry!

Campbell's Product Labels

Eyeglasses
We support the Lions Club project of collecting old eyeglasses to re-distribute in third world countries to persons who otherwise would continue to struggle to see.

Soda Can Pull-tabs


Empty Medicine Bottles
Bottles are sent to doctors in the mission field. Please remove your label before donating. Leave your donation at the drop-off in the hallway near the Choir Suite. Contact Billie Hester for questions.


OTHER:
Baby Bottle Coin Collection
This supports the work of the Refuge Crisis Pregnancy Center in Rockdale County. Bottles are distributed on Mother's Day each year and returned on Father's Day.

Lap Robes
We make lap robes to distribute to veterans at the Georgia War Veterans Home in Milledgeville.
