Missionary fundraiser

Chattaroy Community Church, 3711 E. Chattaroy Road, is holding a flea market to raise funds for two missionaries today from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Dr. John Hershey and his wife, Vickie, have made 10 trips to Papua New Guinea to volunteer at a hospital. The conditions there are poor; newborns go without blankets; and patients only get food that their friends and relatives bring them.

The Hersheys will make their 11th trip to the hospital this year. Holy Family Hospital has donated much-needed medical supplies, and money raised at today’s flea market will be used to help with shipping costs.

The day will include food, crafts, rummage sale items and country music.
