Lafayette-Orinda Presbyterian Church has created space on their campus for a 40-foot shipping container bound for Zimbabwe. This "Container of Love" will be on campus for the month of March and will be filled with items to help children who have been victims of the HIV epidemic in Zimbabwe. Half of the container will be filled with much needed wheel chairs and the other half will be divided between donations for Mother of Peace Orphanage and the JF Kapnek Trust. Needs range from school supplies and sporting equipment (basketball, soccer, baseball, etc.) to everyday necessities including batteries and toiletries. Donations may only be dropped off on Wednesday mornings from 9:30 a.m. to noon, and Sundays from 8:30 a.m. to noon at 49 Knox Drive, Lafayette. Go to LOPC.org to see what specific donations items are needed. Contact robin@LOPC.org or call (925)283-8722, ext. 250 for more information.
