School supplies:
We
are collecting back packs and school supplies for children. Last year
we supplied 121 children with school supplies K 4-12 about 1/3 got back
packs provided by Metropolitan ministries and a few donated back packs
the remaining just got school supplies.
This year the Glazer Foundation is donating 50 back packs with school
supplies but we still short of our goal to provide back packs and
school supplies to 130 children.
Incarnation Altar Servers are already on board and have started
collecting. Please spread the word so we can give our children a good
start in school 2011-12.
Food shortages:
62
percent of our food comes from Feeding America for 18 cents a pound
handling fee. Feeding America has major shortages so we are now buying
food retail. We have prepared for this situation but we do not know how
long it will last. This year alone our church partners have provided
7,450 lbs of food so it is hard for me to ask for more but we need your
donations now more than ever.
