Mission Notes
June Loving, Captain
As I am writing this article, it seems that I
am going through the whole church directory. Many volunteered for PORT during our "hosting the homeless" sessions in January and in March. It is a joy to have my belief in our church family's dedication to the less fortunate confirmed. I would like to have written a note to each of you, but other jobs got in the way. Please forgive me and know that the homeless THANK YOU and GOD loves you for all that you do to help his people. This report is long overdue, but finally it has been tallied and here are some of the facts:
| During the Dec. 31 - Jan. 7, 2004 Homeless Hosting Session | |
|---|---|
| 50 - | Total # of volunteers worked |
| 349 - | Total # of volunteer HOURS contributed |
| 11 - | Individuals gave more than 10 Hours! |
| | |
| During the Mar.17-24, 2004 Homeless Hosting Session | |
| 70 - | Total # of volunteers worked |
| 37 - | Total # of NEW volunteers worked |
| 400 - | Total # of volunteer HOURS contributed |
| 10 - | Individuals gave more than 10 Hours |
| | |
| We hosted an average of 53 - 60 homeless guests during each session. | |
