General Parish News - No More Computer Monitor Donations
Because they are very difficult to dispose of, St. Mary’s and Noah’s Ark can no longer accept any donated computer monitors. We already have ten and cannot find anyone to take them without cost to us. If you have any suggestions of an organization that can use these monitors or of a way to dispose of them, please let us know.
