Outreach

FOOD DRIVE

Our Youth sponsored their 4th annual Food Drive during May.  Members of the congregation donated non-perishable food items and paper products to this project.  A Thrivent card allowed the youth to purchase additional food.  All items were donated to “Our Daily Bread” food pantry and “Storehouse for Jesus”  This project helps the many people in our community facing food insecurity.

Diaper Drive

A Diaper Drive was held in March to provide much needed diapers to the Davie Pregnancy Center and Blue Door Restore.  Members of the congregation donated boxes of diapers (AND WIPES), and a Thrivent card was used to purchase additional boxes of diapers of all sizes.

THANK  YOU,  VETERANS

Our congregation will be collecting items that will be given to the VA Hospital in Salisbury or to veterans in need in our community.  Our collection includes personal hygiene items, blankets, clothing, shoes, and other items.  These needed items are delivered in early November.

Bookbag Give-A-Way

Our 4th annual Bookbag Give-A-Way was held on Saturday, August 8th. We gave away 91 bookbags filled with school supplies to students in pre-school to seniors in high school.  This is a much appreciated outreach event for students and their parents, grandparents, or guardians.

The Episcopal Church of the Ascension and Fulton Methodist Church also provided important support for this project.

Cooleemee Community Food Pantry

Holy Cross will be a sponsor of the Cooleemee Community Food Pantry in January.  A Thrivent card will be used to purchase non-perishable food.  Members of the congregation will also contribute to this very worthy cause.  The food pantry is open each month on the 2nd Saturday from 10:00 until 11:30.  It is also open on the 4th Saturday of each month from 3:30 until 5:00.

 

“Buzy Hands” meets the 1st and 3rd Wednesday of each month to work on various projects.

Thanks to a Thrivent Action Team card, we are able to prepare and deliver meals to the residents of a Group Home in Mocksville.  We share not only food but wonderful fellowship to these sweet people.

“Please Read To Me” was a great success.  We were able to donate 449 new or gently used books to Mocksville Elementary, Cornatzer Elementary, and Davie Pregnancy Center.  Each book will be given to a child to keep and hopefully encourage a love for reading.
