Clothes Silo Clothing Drive LADIES!!! Orangewood Presbyterian Women encourages you to check your closet for items to share with The Clothes Silo. The Clothes Silo, a women's boutique and a major empowerment program of WHEAT, provides free workwear to women in need, and gives every woman convenient and affordable access to quality clothing. They accept donations ranging from casual wear, like jeans and tees, to business professional attire, like blazers and suits, as well as shoes and accessories. Their clients have a variety of clothing needs and your donations can help meet those needs! Place your clean, quality items in bags (preferred) and bring them to the church patio on Sundays, March 16 or March 23, or to the East Seminar Room between the hours of 10:00-2:00 and 3:00-6:00 on Monday or Tuesday, March 24 or 25. We will have help to unload your car if needed. Donation receipts will be available. There are quite a few opportunities to help with gathering and transporting the clothes. Please check the special table on the patio to see where you would like to help. Thanks for your support! Questions or need alternatives to the times listed? Contact Jeannie Oosterwyk (jeannieooster@gmail.com) or Laura Browne (laurabrowne1818@gmail.com).

Honduras Supplies 2025 Last year we were able to treat nearly 300 patients in medical clinics during our trip to Dulce Nombre, Honduras. This was made possible in part by the generosity of our families, friends and church communities who donated supplies from our Amazon Wish List. Christina Suarez has created another list for our next trip, which is scheduled for this April; we have included the link below. If purchasing from the list, please choose "Honduras Mission 2025 Tim Wheeler" when prompted to select a delivery address. t will help if orders can be placed as soon as possible so that Tim can ship the supplies to Honduras ahead of our
arrival. If you wish to make a monetary donation, please make the check payable to Orangewood Presbyterian Church and specify "Honduras Mission" on the Memo line. Thank you for your help and support, and please contact Christina Suarez or Gene Nix with any questions.

Pancake Supper Thanks Thank you to all from Orangewood who dined/and or donated at the Shrove Tuesday
Pancake Supper! The kiddos (pre-teens) from the South Sudanese New Life Presbyterian Fellowship (SSNLPF) did a fantastic job in the kitchen flipping those pancakes, frying sausage and bacon, cutting fruit, etc. Thanks to Pastor Gach Kur for picking the kiddos up after school in Laveen and bringing them directly to Orangewood. Over $500 was raised in support of youth programs at SSNLPF. They are very excited about their Nuer Christian Youth Conference for Peace and Development, which will be held November, 2025 in Phoenix. The SSNLPF congregation is grateful for your donations and the opportunity to partner with OPC in hosting the pancake
supper.
