Nara Melkonyan, missionary and Project AGAPE Country Director has requested funding to buy bedding for the over 100,000 people who fled the Artsakh Region as Azerbaijan bombed them out of their homes and businesses. Her goal is to purchase items in Armenia to support the local economy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At the same time, we are preparing to ship Christmas boxes to Armenia, and we want to stuff all the gaps between the boxes in the shipping container with <strong>warm<\/strong> comforters, blankets, twin size bed sheets, and new pillows. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>New, or gently used, well made blankets are welcome. Think about what will keep someone warm in a snowy, cold area where they may not have heat. New or gently used twin size sheets are also needed and only NEW pillows. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Please collect these items and drop them off at the MERCI Center 676 Community Dr, Goldsboro, NC 27530, on November 20, 2023 between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m.  Contact Rev. Bill Haddock for more information: <a href=\"mailto:revbillh@nccumc.org\">revbillh@nccumc.org<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If a large collection of items needs to be picked up, please call Al Miller (910) 527-1805 <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>WE DON&#8217;T SHIP AIR!
