Toiletries for Tara
Tara Howard was a student at Resurrection-St. Paul School from Kindergarten through her 8th Grade graduation. During high school, she was a Confirmation Peer minister and active member of the Youth Group. Tara loved helping people, especially the POOR and HOMELESS. Because she went home to God in January 2006 when she was 18, Tara can’t help them now without us.
