Outreach Luncheon - WE NEED YOU! ! !

September 25, 2010

Everyone is invited to come and participate! Please consider participating as either a volunteer to serve or provide food items.

Please contact Lisa Alexander if you would like more information or how to become involved.

We have been asked to be a site for the collection of used clothing.  The project is through TIP (Treatment Instead of Prison), and is focused on providing some basic clothing for inmates released from our local jail.  Inmates are usually released at 5:30 am, and may have only the clothes that they had when they were picked up.  This might mean being released in the winter with only shorts, t-shirts and sandals, because they have been in jail for several months.  Please look through your clothes.  Possibly you could donate some pants or shirts, sweatshirt or winter coat?  Maybe some shoes?  Collection boxes are being placed in several congregations around the community including St John's, with a distribution site near St Paul's UCC (which is across the street from the jail and where newly released people often go first to ask for help).  Thanks!  The collection box will be in Memorial Hall.

REMEMBER the food pantries!

The Salvation Army, Neighbor's Place and First Presbyterian Church all provide food for our neighbors who simply cannot stretch their own budgets far enough. When you shop, please pick up something extra to place in the food baskets. Thank you!

Discretionary Fund

There is a constant demand for the number of requests for vouchers for everyday expenses such as gasoline to get to jobs or appointments in the current economic climante. If you are able, please consider making a financial contribution to the Discretionary Fund so that St. John's can continue to assist our fellow community members.
