Navajo Lutheran School
Labels for the Navajo Lutheran Mission are needed.
Campbell Soup Labels help the Navajo Lutheran Mission in Rock Point, AZ. The program accepts the bar code insignia portion from the labels, so instead of saving the full labels from Campbell's, Swansons's, V8, Prego and Franco American products, just save the UPC bar code insignia. Also continue to save General Mills boxtops for Education proof of purchase, which the Mission School converts to cash. Make sure you check boxtops for expiration dates, and place them in the box near the Women's Bulletin Board.Primavera Shelter in Tucson
