BLESSING BAGS


Donations are being accepted for students at Selbyville Middle School.  This ongoing ministry provides personal and food items for students.  Your donations are greatly appreciated.  For more information, or to arrange pick up of donations, call Marie Waehler at

302-228-5258.


We have eliminated some of the smaller items and no longer bag them. The staff sorts the items in bins to be used as needed.  I continue to shop at Dollar Tree for the personal items and buy the largest sizes of body wash and shampoo.  The food items I purchase at BJ’s to get the most for my money.
