The Blessing Basket
The Blessing Basket was established on 12th of September 2023 to help out people in the community who may need assistance. Guide lines were created around maintaining confidentiality for both precipitants and donors. An application form was created. Members of the congregation were asked to nominate people who may need a little assistance by filling out an application form. It has started small and will grow as needed.
Poverty Period
Poverty Period is a project established by the Women of the Congregation on the 13th of February 2022. The group was alerted to the fact that some women were having difficulty affording hygiene products. It was learned that the hygiene products are not covered by any state or federal programs. The Women of the Congregation decided to help by providing hygiene products. We have been given grants from Thrivent to help defray the cost of the products. The Women of the Congregation have been purchasing and have asked individuals to purchase hygiene products to give to the Share Care food bank, women’s shelter, and local Libraries.
