On Wednesday, March 16, 2022, the Swiss UCC will host a spaghetti dinner fundraiser. The money will go to support various projects to support poor rural communities. For example, this year the money we raised went to buying chicks, baby pigs and garden plants for 47 families. Just like us, their families have had to deal with increased difficulties and costs with the pandemic.
We will be having dine-in, home delivery, and curbside pick up.

Revenue From New Residences Must Be Used to Cover Operating Costs Associated With Providing Services

Submitted by admin on Wed, 03/09/2022 - 7:32am

Dear Editor,
