This love bug is looking for a new home. She's about 4 years old. Her owners acquired her at Tent City. They also took in Michelle's dog after she passed away. Michelle's dog then went to the home of one of my volunteers, since they couldn't keep both dogs, and is loving life. Now, they have to move and can't take this pup with them. Anyone looking to add a member to the family, please consider this sweetheart. I am told she's not spayed but she is up on her vaccinations. When one of my volunteers went to pick up Michelle's dog to rehome her, this one was all full of love and excitement and wanted all the scritches and rubs. They are moving on the 26th so this baby needs a new home by the 25th.

We need you! We are joining with a couple other outreaches to help provide a meal outside our usual Sunday. Friday, January 23rd at 6:00 p.m. we will be contributing to a joint effort to provide a meal for our differently sheltered friends. If anyone would like to donate sandwiches or a casserole, one outreach is providing the dessert, another is providing drinks and snacks. We will be contributing scalloped potatoes with ham and a vegetable. We welcome any assistance! Contributions can be dropped off at the church by 5:00 p.m. as I will be leaving at 5:30. If it's a hot dish and it comes to us hot, even better! I can make arrangements to meet any other evening if that time is not good for you. Please reach out with any questions! Thank you in advance.

We are still not taking clothes right now other than coats, socks, bras, shoes, and underwear but we have a specific request from a man who's starting over. Donation drop off address is in the profile picture of you have these items to spare. Please mark E.F. on them so we know they're for him. Thanks in advance!

(Bethany Church of the Nazarene, the church that lets us use their kitchen and a room for donations for the past few years, has a Community Aid bin in their parking lot and they receive financial compensation by the pound of clothing donations if you have clothes to get rid of.)

Please share! Everyone is invited! This Friday night at six p.m. I will be speaking about The Eclipse Project. Come out and be this introvert's cheerleader! I will give a brief talk about how we got started, what we do, and where we need help. Donations will be accepted that evening. Coffee cups with lids, non-perishables like pasta, pasta sauce, vegetables, instant rice, gravy mix, powdered drink mixes, any sort of drinks, bags of sugar, powdered coffee creamer, perishable items like cheese, butter, meats, fruit and vegetables, toiletries like toothpaste, shave cream, body wash, shampoo, bathroom tissue, and paper towels, propane for heaters, snacks, etc.

There will be a dessert reception afterwards where we will be running a slide show of photos from our humble beginnings through current day and I'll be available to answer questions. Folks will put together bags of necessities to hand out to folks should they encounter someone in need. This aims to get their congregation more involved with our differently sheltered friends. Hand warmers, feet warmers, chewing gum, candy, protein bars, bottles of water, laundry cards, an encouraging note or card, anything someone would need in the moment to make their day better.

"In essence, social justice aims to dismantle barriers and create systems where power, resources, and opportunities are shared fairly, moving beyond simple equality to achieve true equity and human dignity for all".
