This week, November 14-20, is Hunger & Homelessness Awareness Week.

We surpassed the 17,000 meals served mark so far in 2010 and received the ULTIMATE compliment this past week.  We were told that we were the “best thing since canned beer!”  We could never achieve anything without being directed by God and having your support, so THANK YOU.

 

As we go through the week please remember there are people RIGHT HERE in our own community that are hungry and homeless.  There are many ways to help needy individuals and families living in our community.

Here are just some of the ways you can help.
  • Raise and donate money to your school district’s community fund.
  • Organize a food drive.
  • Purchase and donate grocery and gasoline gift certificates.
  • Donate new clothing to someone in need. 
  • Help sort and organize in a food pantry or clothing closet.
  • Donate backpacks and school supplies.  
  • Organize a drive for personal hygiene items.
  • Provide baby items and diapers.
  • Help with fund raising.
  • Donate specialized services to low-income clients.
  • You can mail a tax-deductible donation to Jesus Was Homeless, 176 Summerbrooke Lane, Branson, MO  65616
  • You can donate to our Ozarks Food Harvest account at 417-865-3411

3rd Annual Thanksgiving Day Dinner

We are still collecting items for our 3rd Annual “Love Your Neighbors” Thanksgivng Day Dinner to be held at the Branson United Methodist Church on Hwy 76 across from Mazzio’s. We are still in need of coats, hats, gloves, blankets, deodorant, razors, shaving cream, tooth brushes and tooth paste.

 

You can drop off items at the CenturyLink store on Hwy 248, in the Gretna Plaza, next to Tijuana Willies, or you can call Amy at 335-0266 to make arrangements for pick-up. You can also drop coats off at Comet Cleaners in Branson.

 

If you wish to help serve during our Thanksgiving Dinner you can contact Bob Johnson at 937-546-1219 or email him at [email protected]. I promise he will put you where you can use your gifts best at. Volunteers can arrive at 3:00 pm, doors will open at 5:30 pm to the public and dinner will be served at 6:30 pm.

Please do,

14 Above all, clothe yourselves with love, which binds us all together in perfect harmony. 15 And let the peace that comes from Christ rule in your hearts. For as members of one body you are called to live in peace. And always be thankful. – Colossians 3:14-15 (NLT)
