RAIHN Challenge Extended!
|
UPDATE: We are excited to report that we have already reached our initial goal of $1,500! Wow!! Since we reached our goal so quickly, the challenge has been extended to $2,000.
To donate, please make your check payable to First Universalist Church and note “RAIHN Challenge” in the memo line.
THANK YOU for your generous contributions!
About the RAIHN Challenge: A kind friend of First Universalist has offered a generous challenge to help us host our RAIHN guests! Our friend will match every donation to the RAIHN Discretionary Fund, up to $2,000. If this challenge is fully realized, our fund could increase by $4,000, which would help us to provide more comfort, care, and support for those we serve during our RAIHN host weeks.

LIBRARY SUMMER SCHEDULE: Change of plans! The church library and bookstore will be closed until Sept. 10 so as not to get in the way of the renovation of the Clara Barton room. But feel free to take reading material from the free books box, the free magazine exchange rack and the free children's book shelf.
SOCKS &TOWELS SUMMER DONATIONS: "Homeless Heartbeats" (formerly called Homelessness Task Force) is collecting: SOCKS and TOWELS (used OR new) for footwashing at House of Mercy. There, our own Kate Fleury joins others in washing the feet of those who walk the streets. A soothing foot wash makes such a difference ... for health as well as comfort. Let's help out! Please donate as you are able:
* Socks and/or Towels (used OR new) ~ any size, any color
* Clara Barton Lounge ~ place in box labeled for this drive
* We will collect all summer long. HH members will deliver your donations directly to the new House of Mercy on Ormond Street.
Your compassion is greatly appreciated!
