Shannon Parsons of LFRX sends the following thank you: “Recently, Lost and Found Pharmacy received a donation of NIV Bibles from Hebron. Thank you all for this fantastic gift! The donation coincides with the expansion of our ministry into hospice service. As a result, when the pharmacy starts to serve patients’ medications during their last days of life, beginning April 26th, our delivery drivers, at the same time, will be able to give these Bibles to their loved ones for comfort and support. It is our prayer that these Bibles will be a way to draw people close to the Lord in tender moments around these hard times. Want to help? To meet expanding needs, the pharmacy is hiring at least two part-time, paid delivery driver positions and one part-time pharmacy technician position. In addition, as we move into our busy summer season, the soda fountain is hiring at least one more part-time barista position. We hope you’ll pop in to see us. Our love goes out to you all at Hebron!”
