HABITAT HOUSE BUILD coming July 30 and August 6. Join the fun on two Fridays when we join with other people of faith to build out a Habitat for Humanity house for a hard-working family in Silver Spring. Talk to Brian Berger if you’d like to participate – building skills welcome, but not required.
Photo Directories are here: Each family who participated in the photo directory will receive a copy. Please look for yours on the table in the front hall.
Magazines for Sibley: If you bring magazines to donate to Sibley Hospital, please bring them in bags with handles and leave them in the closet in the stairwell. This would be very helpful to the volunteer who picks them up. Thank you.
Help the Homeless: Homeless and needy people stop by the church weekly looking for help with food, transportation, and medical costs. Our Sunday school children have made up lunch bags of food to be given away. It is also nice to be able to help occasionally with prescription co-pays or bus/metro fare. Please consider donating Giant gift cards, Metro cards and cash in small bills for this purpose. Mark your donations “Local Homeless” and leave either in the offering plate or in the office. Thank you.
It's Help the Homeless Time Again! MCCH is proud to be selected again as a beneficiary organization for the Fannie Mae Help the Homeless Walkathon and Mini-Walk program this summer and fall. Each year these walks are a very large part of our fundraising and public education efforts to end homelessness in our community.
There are a number of ways to support our Help the Homeless Activities. We know that there is something here that fits you or your organization perfectly!
• Join our MCCH walk team and meet us on the National Mall on
November 20th.
• Organize a Mini-Walk at your school, organization or business.
• Host a Denim Day at work to raise awareness and support walkers who might not be able to participate.
• Be a sponsor. MCCH can receive a sponsor incentive award by recruiting sponsors who make a financial contribution and for each of the top five sponsors recruited; MCCH will receive an award equal to 20% of that commitment.
