AUSTIN STREET HELP-THEM-HOME KITS February 17 - April 4
This Lent, we are keeping the unhoused in prayer as we seek to provide for their needs. While 250 unhoused men and women live at Austin Street Center during the pandemic, there is some good news: 3-5 people per week are moving into new residences. We are assembling housewarming baskets to welcome them home! Please participate with us in remembering all who need safe residence by collecting items. On Easter Sunday, please bring the collected items in a laundry basket to the west parking lot before the 6:30 a.m. or 1:30 p.m. services. We will deliver them!
