Here's a message from our own Pastor Keith with a great opportunity!
Hello Sara and Leslie,
If you know of anyone wanting a project here are three things that will make an impact on families in need in LO and then the greater Portland Area:
#1. We have NEW coats! They're from Aeropastale again and unfortunately all black. I'm setting aside 250 or so for Lake Oswego and surrounding suburbs on the West side. The rest will be moved throughout Portland and the East side. I'd like to receive more "gently worn coats" (especially small children's) as well to add some variety and color for people coming in to shop a free coat in early December. We're offering the first round of coats to families who live, study, work or worship in Lake Oswego. People can stop by the church to shop on Wednesdays between 10am to 2pm or upon appointment by calling the church office.
Last year you helped us distribute over 2,400 coats to youth and children throughout the Greater Portland area after we first served those in our community.

#2. We need these last food items to finish filling over 300 food baskets by November 18.
Hope Community Church and I are again working with Portland CityTeam to help fill over 300 food baskets for the Holiday Season to Families in need.
Donations can be dropped off at Hope Community Church on Wednesdays between 10am and 2pm or upon appointment by calling the church office.
We need the following foods by November 18:
250 boxes of stuffing mixes
1000 canned corn
1000 canned green beans
1000 canned fruit
Thanks again for your help,
Pastor Keith
