Morton Division Update!

Hello from MFB - Morton Division -- Packaging & Logistics Facility.

Over the past several months, many volunteer hours have been spent on renovations of our new facility in Morton! Our 3 main goals are: Provide logistical support for MFB, Package bulk product/Tender Mercies, & provide volunteer opportunities. A big thanks to the community of Morton & know that we are just getting started!

How can I help?

Financial Support/Construction Needs

At this time, we have a need for approximately $300,000 in cash for construction materials. Tens of thousands have already been donated, but more is needed to complete the facility. As you are led, please donate online or by check (memo: Morton).

Prayer

Please pray that we are responsive to the Spirit's leading. We want to discern when to push and when to be patient in all we do.

Volunteer

Here are some pictures of some great volunteers we've had in the last couple months. Contact us if you are interested in helping with the construction/remodel project.
