Social Ministry Monthly Emphasis
June 2024
As you do it for the least of these, you
do it for Christ. (Matthew 25:40)
Social Ministry Emphases for June. Each month the Social Ministry highlights a special giving opportunity. June’s emphasis is providing support for the Food Bank of Northwest Indiana http://www.foodbanknwi.org and Project Neighbors https://projectneighbors.org or https://www.facebook.com/ProjectNeighbors.
The Food Bank of Northwest Indiana’s (FBNI) mission is “to provide food for hungry people in NW Indiana through a network of charities increasing public awareness and advocating solutions for the issues involved with hunger and acting as an info &referral source to the community”. FBNI is based in Merrillville and is affiliated with and meets the guidelines of Feeding America www.feedingamerica.org and distributes over 2 million pounds of goods/year through 90 network charities in NW Indiana.
Project Neighbors (454 College Ave.) is a Not-for-Profit organization in Valpo. By addressing issues of race, class and poverty, Project Neighbors’ goal is to build healthy families and neighborhoods, where diversity of all
kinds is welcomed and cherished. Project Neighbors’ accomplishments in Valparaiso include affordable housing at Caroline's Place and Neighbor's Place and Respite House, childcare and preschool at Hilltop House, community health centers in HealthLinc, and the region's only low-power, all-volunteer
community radio station, WVLP, among other “risks-turned-rewards.”
Help achieve our
goal of $2500 in June (over and above giving combined with CLC’s budgeted amount of $1200). Use your weekly worship giving envelope mailed with check to CLC and indicate “FBNWI/PN” or contribute through Subsplash on the CLC website https://clcvalpo.org via the “Give” button and choose Monthly
Social Ministry Emphasis. Thank you to members for supporting monthly social ministry emphases.
