Easter Collection for a great cause-
Since kindergarten sixth grader, Cecilia Ruchti has been collecting items for those who get very little to nothing at Easter time.  We are asking for the following items:  candy, stuffed animals, and new toys like: chalk, bubbles, etc.  They collect for infants through teenage kids. Teens like candy, bags of chips, and cards.  CeCe's family will be distributing these items to the Emergency Shelter,  and Women's Safety Shelter both located in Benton Harbor. Donation boxes will be in the Upton office through Thursday, March 29th.
