EAGLE SCOUT CANDIDATE FUNDRAISER
Mac Bradley, Eagle Scout Candidate from Troop 777 (Blessed Sacrament) will be in the back of the church selling first aid kits as a fundraiser for his Eagle Scout project. Mac's project will be updating our Food Pantry (doing light renovations and implementing an inventory control system). The money he raises will be used to purchase an ipad so we have a better way of tracking what we have on hand and what is needed.
