Orphanage donations

Help support the kids of Hogar de Amor Orphanage in Colima, Mexico through your donations of new and/or used clothing and household items! You can bring your donations to CenterPoint Church any Sunday through February 27th or give/ship donations to any member of the team. 

If you'd prefer to give online, donations can be made at https://centerpointutah.churchcenter.com/giving (just select "Mexico Mission Trip"). All online donations are tax-deductible and will be contributed to the orphanage.
