Pastor Allison has been asking around in places who are serving the most vulnerable in our community to see what kind of needs they have. 

Currently, Operation Safety Net (the county's only homeless shelter) has all the cleaning and virus prevention supplies they need and are following the CDC’s protocol for homeless shelters across the country. But Maureen says the “stay at home” order means her clients cannot leave the shelter as they normally would, and they’re rapidly running out of games, puzzles, and snacks! And, much like in your own home, the more occupied the people are, the more harmony there is! 

· So, here’s a way you can BE THE CHURCH for our community: 

Monday – Friday (9am-12pm), we’ll put 2 clear plastic bins on the porch by the office door, one for snacks and one for games/puzzles. 

· I’m sure you’re doing some Spring cleaning - feel free to drop off any games or puzzles you don’t need anymore, making sure all the pieces and parts are included. And maybe add another bag of chips or two in your cart the next time you’re Krogering. 

If you’d like to order some things online, you are welcome to have them shipped here. (Also, if you don’t want to carry things up the steps, just call us when you’re on your way, and we’ll make arrangements to bring things in without being face-to-face with you.) All items will be sanitized and delivered to the shelter on Fridays for as long as donations keep coming in. 

(Call ahead if you have any questions.)
