North Raleigh Ministries Update

Posted by Webwright September 11, 2007 under North Raleigh Ministries

North Raleigh Ministries is so pleased to have a new volunteer coordinator, Cindy Whittington. She will be responsible for scheduling all the volunteers. Instead of having the second and fourth Wednesday and usually the third Saturday of the month, which are the times that we are assigned, Cindy will be arranging for us to volunteer at times that may be more convenient. We need volunteers from our church that will be willing to work at the various tasks which need to be completed. Pleas call Debbie Nicholas at the church and volunteer. Each church needs to have 16-18 volunteers to run the thrift shop and food pantry and interview clients to determine their needs. Please check your calendars. Even if it is only one day a month, please find the time to help.

We are also pleased that Bayleaf Baptist Church has joined our ministry, and we have included their zip code so to assist their neighbors in need. Trinity Baptist Church is starting an eight-week course called “Jobs for Life” starting October 17th to assist the unemployed to find employment.

During August, your generosity helped feed 135 families and provided over $5,000 in financial assistance to Progress Energy, PSNC and landlords. Thank you for donating your time, talents and resources to North Raleigh Ministries.

Christmas in August was a tremendous success! You donated AND bought beautiful Christmas items. We still have numerous large indoor/outdoor trees and wreaths as well as ornaments. Drop by and see the new items that have been put on the sales floor daily. Your willingness to share with our community is a wonderful witness to our neighbors.

The Triangle Red Cross has put North Raleigh Ministries on a resource list with the Salvation Army and Helping Hands Mission.
