The Community Outreach at Washburn is open on Friday and Saturday. Pastor Laurie Knoespel reports:
The Washburn Community Outreach Center is serving 3 school backpack programs - Ellenboro, Sunshine and East Middle School. In an effort to stop hunger, volunteers stuff backpacks for school children to take home over the weekend.
And as always we are so thankful for the volunteers who give not only their time and energy and resources, but also their faith and compassion in ministering to our clients.
On October 1st from 9am - 2pm, as part of IMPACT Community Day with the United Methodist Church, the center gave away their Summer clothes and shoes! _______________________________________________
The Cherry Mountain Fire Department Auxiliary reports that the firemen have responded to about 194 fire calls so far this year.
Have you seen the new flag pole at the fire department? This was a gift to the fire department from the auxiliary club. The flag is flying today thanks to everyone who bought a cookbook, a tee-shirt, made a donation, attended our supper at Cedar Grove, or made a donation.
Did you know that in addition to buying flag poles, the auxiliary buys food, gatorade, bottled water and other things for the firemen that aren't covered in the department's budget?
