It has been discovered that FCC Hanson is now the only church that supports the Worthy Women bag mission. The bags are compiled for the females attempting to get out of domestic abuse situations. We have participated in assembling the bags with necessary items for many years. This year they have requested that only the adult bags be continued as they have little storage space and not many children come through their system.
