October was the national Domestic Violence Awareness Month.
Church Missions collected four laundry baskets that overflowed with donations from our congregation. These donations have been given to the local Bridges agency. Bridges is a non-profit organization dedicated to helping victims and survivors of domestic and sexual violence. Your generosity will go a long way in helping young women and their families back on their feet. The Mission Possible collection taken on October 29th was also dedicated to Bridges to support their work in the community. Thank you all for your continued support for this local, worthwhile mission.
Linus Project
In October the Linus project completed 29 fleece blankets and passed them on to the Monadnock Chapter to be distributed to many agencies.
“My son had surgery at The Elliot this morning and we arrived to his room to find a beautiful handmade blanket by Project Linus, and we wanted to say thank you. It was such a sweet gift in a time of anxiety and we thank whoever made it and appreciate this wonderful organization.”
