June Letter!
Dear Friends,
Are you ready for the heat of summer? Many
of us see summer as the opportunity for summer vacations, days in the pool,
holiday get-togethers, and many other recreational activities. For many of our
neighbors the summer is about trying to find a place to escape the heat and
get the basic resources to survive. When you add to this that summer is our
most difficult time of year, financially, you can readily see, we need your
help.
The Union Gospel Mission makes
options available for those looking for relief. Unfortunately, due to the recent loss of
a facility we have been utilizing for 12 years, we are now down 8 beds from
where we were. This leaves us only 11 beds
and all of our G.R.A.C.E. Discipleship Program beds are full! We have recently purchased a piece of
property that we can use to reopen an additional 8-12 beds, but there are challenges we must overcome!
We now have a waiting list of clients seeking to make positive
changes to their lives, in need of nourishing meals and a reasonably
comfortable place to sleep. We need two single wide mobile homes to
replace the units there that were condemned when we purchased the property.
These do not need to be “new” just in decent shape where we can use them to
impact lives! Would you help
either financially, in spreading the word, or sharing information? It takes all
of us to create eternal change!
Every bed we can add allows us to help a hurting person, your partnership
with us allows the Union Gospel Mission to continue “Meeting Needs,
Making Change, and Magnifying Christ!”
Serving Christ and the Community,
Rev.
