Shalom House July Supply Drive

LPUMC is having a supply drive for Shalom House during the month of July. We are collecting donations of the following:

• Paper towels
• Cleaning supplies
• Trash bags

Shalom House has a large need for these items, so LPUMC is trying to stock them up! Please drop off any donations in the container downstairs in Fellowship Hall.

Shalom House offers innovative programs to empower women who are homeless and mentally ill to seek treatment and acquire the skills needed to become self-sufficient. They provide emergency shelter for 25 women and transitional housing for another dozen. Shalom House is a United Methodist Vital Ministry.

Thank you all for your continual support of Shalom House.

Hands In Mission at Shalom House - July 25

On Saturday, July 25th, we will be gathering to go over to Shalom House and do some things there with and for the residents. Shalom House offers short-term shelter and support (classes, internet access, meals, spiritual guidance, and health care) for women who need help getting their feet back on the ground. There is also a transitional program for those who are making good progress in moving toward becoming self-sufficient again.

The three projects are:

1. Painting a room
2. Mowing the lawn, trimming, and weeding the flower beds
3. Cooking up a hot brunch and serving it to the ladies.

If you are able to bring a mower, please let me know. Their mower broke at the beginning of the summer, and they have been just getting by week by week until a new one is donated. I have a weed-wacker that can also be used for trimming the sides of the building.

If you are interested in being part of the brunch team, please let me know. We would be feeding 10-15 people, and can use the kitchen, but will need to figure out what to serve, and where and how to get the ingredients.

We will meet at LPUMC at 7:45 and car pool over! Hope to see you with HIM!
