Outreach Ministry News: January 2023

Outreach

Thanks for your generosity in funding the “Adopt a Family” program sponsored by Feed My People. As of the last count, we collected $575.

Each of the six family members received a $50 gift card and a homemade scarf from our Cap, Mitten, and Scarf tree. We also sent a $50 grocery card for a special holiday meal. This left an excess balance of $225. The Outreach Ministry voted to send the $225 and the $200 remaining in our budgeted Miscellaneous fund to Feed My People to help our family with utility bills, for a total of $425 which can be used for utility relief. This will be a wonderful surprise for our family!

As you have no doubt noticed, our Hat, Mitten, and Scarf Tree is beautiful. Soon, we will untrim the tree and take the items to Caroline Mission. The totals below include contributions from ECC’s Mitten Mania.

Hats 87
Scarves 34
Gloves/Mittens 92
Socks 8

Many children and adults will be warm and toasty because of your generosity.
