As spring emerges and days turn into weeks during this pandemic, the local news continues to report the growing needs in our community. Nativity’s Outreach Team has been planning and making decisions to alleviate some of those needs. Because of your generous donations, $2700 has been raised to date through our virtual food drive for Inter-Faith Food Shuttle. Donations are still being accepted. Click here to donate.
We have financially supported the local Habitat for Humanity Episcopal Build and the new home will be completed in late May. The date of August 30 has been set for our annual Rise Against Hunger meal-packing event and we have paid the cost of the supplies needed for that meal packing. Save the date on your family calendar. The team has decided to spend a portion of our “Disaster Relief” budget locally in view of the pandemic. Money is being sent to Wake County Meals on Wheels, which provides daily meals for seniors and to Inter-Faith Food Shuttle, as their number of recipients has more than doubled during these recent weeks. All these efforts are made possible through your pledges and financial donations to Nativity. Thank you for supporting the church and our outreach efforts.
