If you have not received our "Outreach Guidelines", (tidbits and answers to questions that may arise when you are serving) please inform me and I will email you a copy. Please feel free to ask any questions or concerns. The website is in the process of being updated, but please visit it and give the address to others.

We are in need of men/women jeans, tee shirts, men underwear/briefs, and deodorant. If you have/know a church group, cell group, organization, club, networking group, etc, who would like to get involved with helping with small projects, please informed them of our work and our needs. There are already a couple of groups involved in donating some needed items, but let's get others involved also.

There are many needs in our community. A Social Worker from one of our area schools referred a mother to me this week with four boys ages ranging from 10 - 17 years who needed food, clothes, toiletries and other items. She escaped years of an abusive situation only to be diagnosed with cancer in different parts of her body and is not able to work anymore. I was able to give her 193 lbs. of food and toiletries (approx. 15 bags). She has applied for food stamps and Medicaid, and should start receiving them in about 45 days, but the Ministry was able to help in this present need. I will also refer her to other Organizations in the community so we can bridge a gap for the family until other help come into play. We are helping with many needs in the community, and because of your help, the Ministry is able to make a dent in this gigantic problem. A Newsletter will be started soon to keep everyone informed as what is going on in the Ministry. If you would like to help in this area, please email me.
