Rowan County Distribution this week!
Twenty-five Help Bags will reach those in need in Rowan County this week through Rowan Helping Ministries. The official Help Bags deliverer ( my mom : ) ) will be dropping them off to these great folks this week.
We are still in need of all supplies and would love to get a bunch of small flashlights stockpiled for the coming winter months. Can you help?
Home Depot
Home Depot currently has a pack of 15 mini LED flashlights for less than $10. I would love to be able to put these in the winter Help Bags if possible. If you see a pack … or several and want to help Help Bags it would be really appreciated!!
Emergency rain ponchos are also needed if you happen to run across some.
Thanks!!
Fun Fun Fun!!
What a fun afternoon at the home of Carolyn Davis! We started out by walking around their huge lawn learning about chickens and gardening and debated starting a llama farm in my mind : ) We followed up with snacks and in record time packing 100 Help Bags!
Fifty of the bags are headed to one of our favorite places – Concord’s Opportunity House. The remaining 50 are headed out to the Stewards of Christ. My friend Kat is a member of Stewards of Christ. These amazingly huge hearted Christians go out on Thursday nights for several hours to the streets of downtown Charlotte. They walk around for hours talking with homeless they come in contact with as well as passing out water or snacks. They offer to pray with anyone who would like to as well. They not only seek out but reach out to those who so many go out of their way to avoid in their day to day walk.
In the mere 15 minutes it took us to pack up the Help Bags we made a possibly 100 people out there feel like they matter, like someone cares.
Want to help Help Bags? We always need supplies – could you host a drive? Maybe you and your friends or group would like to put some Help Bags together? Running low on time these days like we all are? You can sponsor a quantity of Help Bags or drop off or mail supplies. Or the biggest request of Help Bags??? PRAYER!! Pray for Help Bags and those we reach out to.
Thanks – have a great day!!!
