Volunteer Opportunity This Week....

Hey guys, if you have time tonight and tomorrow and want to serve the homeless in our community, come on out to Pershing Park tonight or Alameda Park tomorrow.  Below is an email from Deborah with the scoop, if you need more info contact her or call me.

Love you guys,

WEDNESDAY PERSHING PARK FOOD SHARING
 
Hey Outreach Team,
 
Rain or shine we are serving each Wednesday, but we are blessed with sun today and it looks like until next Monday! Time to dry out a bit!
 
We will be meeting our very hungry Street Friends tonight.
I would like you to pair up with someone, male and female if possible, and actually walk around and meet the friends and see what needs they may have. (jackets, tarps, blankets shirts, etc) as they are back on the streets tonight. Pls not if someone is hungry, we have small packets of food to hand out.
 
We have plenty of clothing and blankets to share which will be in my truck.
 
We have foods to share next Monday as it possibly rains too. I am asking for volunteers to come along side and help with this. They have had some long days without food in emergy shelters from 6pm to 7:30 am and are truly hungy and thirsty.
 
For tonight, before we mingle, Pls meet me by my truck for a word of prayer and some updates.
If you are out and about today, we are searching for Shakey. He has not been to the shelter for a couplle nights we understand and has not been found. He is particularly weak right now. Shakey is in a wheel chair. His best friend Gator is in jail.
 
Please dress appropriately and bring a flash light.
I can't wait to see you all there....it seems like we have been away from serving together for so long due to the weather. (those that came on instinct last week in the rain, THANK YOU...God provided just enough!)
 
Please today be in prayer for Thursday night outreach at Alameda Park 6:30pm. If Thursday is better for you or if you desire to do even more, Thursday is where we can serve a smaller population and get to know them. Pls let me know tonight
 
Volunteer training class coming up next week Monday, 9 Feb at 6:30pm.
The session with Jeff Shaffer last Thurs was a good one as an eye opener and to ask questions. (Sorry Dr J could not attend due to issues at the emergy shelter) The next one will be an actual training session with the do's, don'ts and how to handle situations, Who to call and how to manage your relationship building, etc.
Please email me if you can attend.
 
Pleae welcome some new volunteers tonight and pair up with them. TKs for your hearts. I appreciate you.
