Missions leaders Cathy Hackbart and Carol Gagliardi reported to the DCCC Board of Directors on June 5 that Missions is up and running serving the needs of surrounding counties and communities this year. Donations started May 5 and Missions is supplying immediate needs for Iron County Emergency Shelter with new bed linens plus towel and wash cloth sets, sweatpants suits for men and women, new undergarments and socks in various sizes and other basics for the men and women who use this shelter. 

Giving continues to the Canyon Creek Women's Shelter. DCCC Missions is providing needed items of new sweatpants suits, towel sets, sippy cupts and bottles for children, plus bed sheets, pillow cases, about 50 kids' activity sets, books and crayons, as well as other essentials for women and children who utilize the shelter. Manicure gifts sets for women and kids' gift bags are currently being assembled to disseminate to women and families at the shelter.

Donations and wise shopping are enabling Missions to support Foster Care families and new arrivals of babies and children with toys, diapers, and back-to-school backpacks with goodies to help with academics. In addition, Christmas gifts for needy families are currently being assembled, as well as gifts of soft blankets for seniors at Brookdale and Christmas stockings for home-bound seniors. 

Signs of Love (an international mission led by Robin Harter that teaches Sign Language and the Gospel of Jesus Christ to the deaf) will receive support from Missions in 2022.

DCCC Missions is accepting ideas for 2022. Missions was busy in 2021 supporting Project Hero with a gift to support recovery, rehabiltation and intergrations services for injured veterans and first responders. November 6, 2021, also witnessed DCCC member Shannon Weldon riding her bike 65 miles to support Project Hero's Las Vegas Honor Ride. We are proud of Shannon!

DCCC once again assembled stockings for homebound seniors in Orderville, Glendale, Panguitch, and Cedar City areas. The stockings are being stuffed with both fun and useful items. The LDS Bishop in Alton/Glendale assisted with identifying seniors in need and supporting this project in various ways. We are "Coming together in Christ," to serve our communities most needy citizens.

Salvation Army and Signs of Love (an international mission led by Robin Harter that teaches Sign Language and the Gospel of Jesus Christ to the deaf) are worthwhile organizations also receiving support from Missions in 2021.

Cedar City At-Risk Hockey Team (Southern Utah Independent High School Hockey) will again receive support from DCCC missions for equipment and other needs. The rink, formerly on Highway 14 at Wood's Ranch, moved to a new location in 2022: land that a generous donor  purchased in Cedar City. 

DCCC Missions supports a variety of worthwhile projects each year. Missionary Robin Harter, founder of Signs of Love, joined us at DCCC on January 5, 2019,  to speak about her amazing work as founder of and missionary with signsoflove.org work in Honduras. Robin and the missionaries with Signs of Love bring Sign Language and the Gospel to the deaf. DCCC Missions also supported "Love Him Love Them" and their work in Haiti. This support was gifted in the memory of beloved Pastor Tom Jackson, whose wife Irene is a leader in the Love Him Love Them mission.
