Wear & Care Items Needed!
Whether it’s a box of cereal or a pair of warm socks, we have the means to make a huge difference in the lives of the less fortunate. Please consider supporting two amazing local organizations, Gateway 180 and Violence Prevention Center Southwestern Illinois, by donating some basic personal wear or care items. A list of items needed can be found on the church bulletin board or at the donation box outside the church office. Questions? Contact Jonathan Schnicker or call the church office.
Gateway180 is more than a temporary home to those seeking shelter. They have become a support system and a long-term solution for many. They offer and apply housing and counseling services and programs that address the true issues causing homelessness. Their goal is to assist and ensure that the families grow to become their own support system, ultimately ending the cycle.
