Wilton-Lyndeborough Day of Service
On October 15, church missions worked in conjunction with the Collaborative Space and the Wilton Community Center to sponsor a day of service. It was very successful!
We had 44 volunteers work on a variety of projects, including stenciling storm drains in town, a walk for the Open Cupboard, weeding invasive plants by the River Walk, assisting a veteran with yard work, clearing trails and brush at the reservoir, and painting the Still Good Shed at the recycling center.
At the end of the day, Church Missions served a spaghetti supper to members of the community, free of charge, as a thank you. The project raised over $1,250.00. All proceeds will go to the Open Cupboard. Everyone who participated agreed that the day was a success.
Project Linus
The group continues to meet on the second and fourth Tuesdays of each month. There is an average of 7 people at each gathering. Together, the group completes 15 – 20 blankets each month. These are brought to the Monadnock Regional Coordinator who helps distribute them to area hospitals, police and fire departments, and Head Starts. We welcome anyone to join the group.
Looking Ahead
Future projects will include Thanksgiving and Christmas gift bags of cheer for some of our members who are not always able to attend service.
