First, Love in Action has been providing shelter for our homeless population on nights that the temperature falls below freezing. When they open up the center for overnight stays, they need volunteers to stay overnight. If you are interested in helping with overnight stays this winter, you can contact Teri Caswell at Love in Action 903-904-5131. They also provide lunch every Monday, Wednesday and Friday so if you are available to help during those days, you can contact Teri and let her know.
The Rebecca Project is an organization that provides meals on Saturday to the homeless and elderly in our community. Here is a message from Jana regarding their current needs.
We are needing donations of hamburger, chicken, and canned goods in general. Monetary donations are always needed as we are low on funds. Brookshires and Walmart cards are always good. Volunteers needed to cook on Friday to deliver to First Presbyterian Church by 9:15 am Saturday morning. And help to put food together and delivery Saturday mornings also.
If you are interested in helping, contact Jana Thompson at Rebecca Project.
