When people think of providing for kids in need, they probably think of things like food, clothing, and perhaps school supplies. But when they think of clothing, they probably don’t think of underwear—which is a basic items kids need, yet not something often given. Undies for Everyone is out to change that. UFE distributes undies to kids through back-to-school fairs and through school nurses and counselors. You can help out a child in need by donating in one of three ways:
- through the Heritage Church Amazon UFE Storefront;
- by making a gift by cash or check through Heritage and putting it in the weekly offering at church (please indicate that it is for Undies);
- through PayPal (again, please indicate that your gift is for Undies).
Our annual Undies for Everyone drive ends today, Mother’s Day, Sunday, May 14.
Together, we can make a meaningful difference for kids!
As previously reported, we raised $912 this year for One Great Hour of Sharing. This was almost as much as 2022 and 2021 combined, and our largest total since at least 2012!! Way to go, Heritage!
We structured our giving campaign this year around the Presbyterian Giving Catalog, which provides people in need with such things as items they can use to earn a living, the ability to have clean water, and also various types of education and training. Thanks to our gifts, one family will receive a dairy cow, which will provide them with a reliable source of income and nourishment. Our gift also supports training in the care and breeding of livestock, potentially improving food and income security for years to come. We also bought two pairs of goats, which will enhance food security for two families through milk, cheese, butter, and yogurt. We asked that the remaining amount of our gift—about $100—be used for whatever is the greatest need, so we’ll trust God to direct those funds in a way that is just right. THANK YOU for your enthusiastic support of One Great Hour of Sharing this year! Together, we truly are making a difference for our brothers and sisters in need.
Our “Heritage Has Talent” fundraiser continues to bring funds and attention to our church. We urge EVERYONE in the Heritage PC family to send the email announcing this opportunity to EVERYONE in their email listing and social media accounts. (If you have already done this, consider sending an additional “reminder” to your contacts.)
If you are not providing a talent or contributing toward a talent you might need, PLEASE support this by letting all your contacts know. It won’t work if only our church knows about it. We have raised over $2000 so far thanks to you!
