*For those of you who have been kind enough to save Campbell's UPC labels and lids from some items (see bulletin board for details) for SHEPHERDS (a ministry to adults with mental disabilities), in December they had enough labels to receive a new van and they are awaiting its delivery. So, thank you for bringing in the labels. Feel free, if you want, to bring in the whole label not disturbing the UPC bar code nor the 5 points box on some items. Please leave them in the hallway drop box.
