Big The Give Hometown Treasure Photos The Shipshewana Ministerial Association came together on November 19, 2011 to celebrate our area’s rich heritage of compassion and helpfulness. Area churches provided donations of water, cereal, toilet paper and other grocery items as well as clothing donations such as jackets, pants, shirts, and maternity clothes to anyone who came. As seen on the page to the right, there was a LARGE supply of potatoes to be given! There was even a place for free haircuts as well as blood pressure checks and lab work. Area charitable organizations such as the Compassion Pregnancy Center and LaGrange Habitat For Humanity set up booths to inform “shoppers” of the services that they provide. pg 18 · The Hometown Treasure · Dec. ‘11
