GALLIPOLIS – Members of New Life Lutheran Church have been partnering with Poppy’s Coffee, Tea & Remedies for several months to provide nonperishable food, coats, and toiletries as a community service.
More recently, as a Christmas project for the homeless, New Life members purchased tents, blankets, pillows, sleeping bags, backpacks, scarves, hats, gloves, and socks. Poppy’s owners, Greg & Lori Hall, collaborate year-round with Integrated Services, Gallia County Job & Family Services, the Gallia County Health Department, and Hopewell to serve those in need.
