warming center volunteer opportunities
As temperatures drop, many of our neighbors are in urgent need of a warm, safe place to stay while government buildings are closed. On January 19th, Martin Luther King's holiday, we are opening our building to host a warming center and we need your help!
Volunteers will assist with:
Greeting guests and helping with check‑in
Serving warm drinks and snacks
Setting up and maintaining a clean, welcoming space
Providing conversation, support, and a friendly presence
If you are able to hang out for a bit and staff the warming center please sign up at this link: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/10C044EACAE28A0FAC34-61357347-warming#/.
If you are not able to be there during that day, you can still help by donating snacks! Here is a link to sign up for food/snacks: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/10C044EACAE28A0FAC34-61356763-food#/
redemption book club
Join us for another round of Redemption Book Club on Saturday, January 17th at 9:30am. We will be discussing Robert Dugoni’s book The Extraordinary life of Sam Hell. The book follows Sam, a boy with ocular albinism, through his childhood and into adulthood as he reflects on his life and the meaning of the people he has encountered throughout. Please register here if you plan to join us.
