If you’re eating at the Walnut Ridge or Pocahontas Pizza Hut tonight, be sure to save your receipt.

This summer a group from Williams Baptist College will travel to Florida to receive missions training and your receipt could help fund their trip.  There they will be trained in aquaponics, which they will use on future mission opportunities.

Pizza Hut will donate funds to the expedition based on the amount of money represented in the returned receipts.
