U.S. Rept. Tom Garret visited Sudan and arranged for the release of three missionary prisoners, according to a press release from the Lunenburg Chamber of Commerce. “One missionary was returned to his Czech homeland. Two missionaries (one with a family) will be relocated to our local area. These missionaries and family need aid in the way of personal hygiene items, household cleaning items, food, and clothing,” chamber officials said.

Officials are asking Walmart gift cards be donated for the families.

Items must be donated before June 28. For more information, call (434) 676-3376.
