Diane Pet3rs presented a program about the Grace House located in the Rectory of the Zion Episcopal Church in Palmyra. She visited the Hope House in Webster and decided Palmyra also needed a place for people in need to get clothing, linens, small appliances and even some furniture. The house is open Mondays and Thursdays with 25 volunteers interviewing and staffing the facility. Since the opening of the Grace House earlier this year over 180 families have been helped. They are always in need of donations and volunteers. Call 315 502-0281 with questions.
Our next meeting is Wed. Nov. 18 at Flaherty's. Bring a friend for some fellowship.
