With the generous donations from the congregation, the hands of Hannah Circle sorting and packing the donations, members of Grace Circle loading the donations into the back of Kim Van Oss’ van, and Kim and Steve delivering the donations to the Wheaton City Hall parking lot Saturday afternoon, October 25, 2008, Presbyterian Women and First Presbyterian Church helped to Make a Difference to the members of the PADS community.
