ONGOING MINISTRIES OF LIVING SAVIOUR
Opportunities to share God’s love
URGENT NEED FOR CRISIS ASSISTANCE MINISTRY - Living Saviour has as an ongoing project the collecting of men’s, women’s and children’s clothing for the Crisis Assistance Home Essentials Program. Crisis Assistance Ministry also provides the Emergency Financial Assistance Program, providing aid to people who are in danger of being evicted or losing their utility connection through direct payments to housing and utility companies. Due to the current downturn in the nation’s economy, more people in our community have been forced to turn to Crisis Ministry for this financial assistance, placing a severe strain on available resources and forcing Crisis Ministry to turn away needy families. Will you prayerfully consider a monetary gift to this valuable ministry? You can mail your tax-deductible check to 500-A Spratt St., Charlotte NC 28206 or contribute online at www.crisisassistance.org.
HABITAT FOR HUMANITY - They’re all around your house……Those items that you have not used in a while but still have value. The ReStore, a fundraising division of Habitat For Humanity, is looking for donations of new and used furniture, appliances, home décor, books, and other sellable items. The profits of the ReStore are used to build Habitat homes in Charlotte. To make a donation or to learn more, please call 704-392-4495 or go to www.CharlotteRestore.org.LOAVES & FISHES - organized effort to donate food and supplies and offer other services to this Charlotte-area food pantry. Did you know?
- Loaves & Fishes fed nearly 82,000 people in 2008 through a network of 17 volunteer-staffed food pantries and only eight paid staff.
- Loaves & Fishes does not charge any fees for the food provided. Your donations go directly to feed the hungry.
- Individuals and families receive a week's worth of nutritious groceries to prepare in their own homes.
- People are referred to Loaves & Fishes by human service agencies, clergy, medical providers and school counselors who see first hand those who struggle in our community.
- Loaves & Fishes keeps costs low (83% program and 17% administrative) thanks to community support. The average Loaves & Fishes' client faces an overwhelming amount of financial burden brought on by an emergency situation. Living Saviour continues to be a supporter of Loaves & Fishes through food collections that are regularly delivered to the pantries. Please remember to place canned items in the grocery cart in the fellowship hall. Priority needs are canned meats, soup, canned fruit, peanut butter and 100% fruit juice. No glass please. Thank you for your generous donations!
