Middleton Outreach Ministry supplies backpacks full of school supplies to its client families. Students are also provided with new underwear and socks and high school students receive toiletries. You can help by purchasing supplies or making a financial contribution so others can purchase needed supplies. Lists of needed supplies are available in the Gathering Area. Make checks out to St. Dunstan’s with “school supplies” on the memo line. All supplies must be dropped off at St. Dunstan’s or at MOM by August 22. For more information contact Laura Bloomenkranz at 836-5121.
A food drive for the Middleton Outreach Ministry Food Pantry is underway at St. Dunstan’s through Aug. 17. At this point every summer, the shelves at the pantry begin to show some bare spots. The kids have been home eating their parents out of house and home, and St. Dunstan’s can help. On Aug. 3, grocery bags were passed out with lists of most-needed items attached. On Aug. 17 (or before), you can bring in your filled bag to church and we’ll stuff the minivan! (Tax receipts and extra bags will be available.) Questions? Call Laura Bloomenkranz at 836-5121. Thank you!
On Wednesday, June 18, the vestry passed the following resolution proposed by St. Dunstan’s Outreach Committee:
Parishioners are asked to consider tithing the “economic stimulus” rebate funds that they have received or may soon receive from the federal government. The Outreach Committee recommends that members write checks to St. Dunstan’s for 10 percent of the amount of their rebate with “economic stimulus fund” on the memo line. All funds so designated received by Aug. 1 will be disbursed by the outreach committee in the following three areas of outreach giving:
- St. Dunstan’s Outreach Endowment Fund
- international arenas
- domestic and local arenas
That you for your consideration.
