Become more involved in NEEDS
Have you wondered how you might be more involved in NEEDS? The
Wheel of Friendship purchases perishables for the pantry for two weeks
in January. Expenses are reimbursed. The Pantry is in Kenwood Baptist
Church on Kenwood Rd. Please contact Linda Carlsson (931-6173)
if interested.
The annual School Supply Drive continues. Ascension is assigned to donate colored pencils
and dry-erase markers. Another church also assigned colored pencils will be unable to
get the donations expected, so keep looking for bargains to fill the need. Backpacks are
gladly accepted as well. The supplies will be organized/boxed up Monday, August 16th
starting at 8:30 a.m. If you're interested in helping, contact Linda Carlsson.
The financial picture for NEEDS is quite good, currently. Two very large anonymous donations
were received this spring. The pantry requires ongoing donations and Ascension members
have been very generous through the years. Please keep tuna and canned soups on
your lists. As always, the board is grateful for Ascension's commitment in tending to the
neediest neighbors.
