BOX MISSIONS
Salem periodically partners with local ministries to raise awareness about their programs and assist their ministries materially. When we do, Mission Boxes are available in the church lobby. Take a new box, fill it, and return it to benefit the local ministry. Additionally, you can help assemble new boxes or deliver the filled boxes. To volunteer to assist with this ministry, contact Jill Boldt at jcboldt@salem4u.com.
