In the month of May, local volunteers will have several "Jack & Jill Showers" to collect maternity and infant clothing and related supplies to benefit the Seattle Indian Health Board. The showers should be held before Sunday, May 4th when we will bring all donated items to church. We will then hold our annual shower at the Seattle Indian Health Center on May 8th. We will also need volunteers to help at the shower itself.
