Our next Hesed House service opportunity is April 3rd & 4th.
The dinner menu will be:
• Beef tacos (and trimmings)
• Beef hot dogs (and trimmings)
• Spanish rice
• Green beans with sauteed onions and bacon
• Canned sliced peaches and pears
• Dessert
The WSC Hesed House Ministry Leadership Team will purchase the pre-seasoned taco beef.
Also, because we no longer have sufficient volunteers to prepare sack lunches, the WSC Hesed House Ministry Leadership Team will continue to purchase Subway Sandwich Trays, as we did during the Covid pandemic.
Please consider making a donation to the Hesed House Ministry fund to help cover these costs or to provide funds for the team to purchase items that are not donated.
You may donate by sending a check to the church or online at https://wheatlandsalem.ccbchurch.com/goto/forms/666/responses/new.
DONATIONS MAY BE DROPPED OFF AT THE CHURCH AS FOLLOWS:
• SUNDAY MORNINGS WHEN THE CHURCH IS OPEN FOR IN-PERSON WORSHIP. Place donations in the kitchen on the shelves or large cart, both are marked “Hesed House.”
• MONDAY-THURSDAY 9:00 AM - 3:00 PM. ENTER THROUGH DOOR #5 — RING THE DOOR BELL AND STAFF WILL ADMIT YOU. Place donations in the kitchen on the shelves or large cart, both are marked “Hesed House.”
• THE SUNDAY IMMEDIATELY PRIOR TO WSC’S HESED HOUSE SERVICE DATE (next one is APRIL 2) NO LATER THAN 10:30 am. Place donations on the tables outside the kitchen, near door #4. Please use the cart to load items from your vehicle.
VOLUNTEER NEEDS — PLEASE CONSIDER VOLUNTEERING — YOU WILL BE BLESSED!
HESED HOUSE NO LONGER IS REQUIRING VOLUNTEERS WHO SERVE ON SITE TO BE FULLY COVID-19 VACCINATED.
• LOAD AND DELIVER DONATED ITEMS FROM THE CHURCH TO HESED HOUSE — the first Monday of every month.
• SERVE ON SITE TO PREPARE DINNER, SERVE DINNER, PREPARE BREAKFAST, OR SERVE BREAKFAST — Volunteers must be at least 14 years of age.
• TO SERVE ON SITE YOU MUST BE ON THE VOLUNTEER ROSTER AND SCHEDULED TO SERVE. Volunteers who are not on the roster in advance of a service date and “just show up” at Hesed House will not be allowed entry to serve.
IF YOU SIGN UP IT IS ONLY FOR THAT ONE MONTH — OF COURSE, LONG-TERM COMMITMENTS ARE WELCOME.
Thank you and God bless you for your faithful support of WSC's Hesed House ministry to our sisters and brothers who are most vulnerable. We can’t sustain this important ministry of service to the most vulnerable members of our community without your continued partnership. You truly are a blessing to many others.
"I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in…" (Matt 25:35).
