We made it!  Members of Central Baptist Church purchased and distributed 100 health kits to the Salvation Army of Quincy and Church World Service following the recent floods and cyclones.  Each health kit contained one hand towel, washcloth, comb, toothbrush, metal finger nail clippers, bar of soap and six band-aids in a one-gallon resealable bag.  Thank you for your compassionate response to people in need.  Health kits will be collected following any natural disaster.
