Trietsch participates in various ways to raise awareness and money for our missions in Mozambique. Each year the Missions Team organizes a Mozambique Silent Auction as the primary fundraiser for our mission efforts in Mozambique. This year's auction raised more than $40,000. We thank our Auction Coordinators Linda Doherty and Peggy Swann and their whole team for their commitment and hard work to make this happen.
In 2007 we raised more than $20,000. CLICK HERE to learn more about the 2007 Silent Auction.
Medical Donations
In July and August two Volunteer in Mission teams will be traveling to Africa on mission trips. There are numerous needs for Pharmacy and Medical supplies in Africa and it is often unreliable to mail packages to these locations. Each member of these teams will be taking supplies to leave and request your help to fulfill our wish list.
