The General Women's Meeting broadcast will be held on Saturday, September 27, 8:00p.m. at the Stake Center.  The Relief Society, Young Women and Primary girls age 8 and up are invited to attend this broadcast.  A service project will be held at 7:00p.m. before the broadcast.

There are over 3,000 homeless children in Osceola County and most of them live in hotels along U.S. Highway 192.  Many of these children are hungry on the weekend while they are out of school. The weekend meal program that provides non-perishable food for those children over the weekend when they are away from school.  We will be collecting non-perishable foods for the Cypress Park, Chestnut, Highlands and Lakeview elementary schools.  
On August 31st each ward building will have a container to start collecting non-perishable food to be donated to the schools.  The night of the broadcast the food will be sorted for delivery to the 4 schools.   

Here is a list of the non-perishable food that we will be collecting:  
  • tuna 
  • grits
  • cereal 
  • instant oatmeal
  • mac and cheese
  • applesauce
  • peanut butter
  • jelly
  • crackers
  • juice
  • breakfast bars

Thank you the member of our stake for all you do!  If you have any questions please contact your Relief Society president or Sister Carol Mills.
