City Reach - January 4th & 5th
Several members of St. Andrew's will be joining a group from Church Hill United Methodist Church (Norwell) for an overnight at City Reach/Common Cathedral in Boston. This is always a profound learning and moving experience for everyone and we want to support the group in their efforts to connect with the homeless during some of the coldest nights of the winter season.
The group will be bringing sweatshirts, pants, hats, scarves, mittens, underwear, socks, backpacks, and other cold weather necessities with them. Click the link below to see a full list of items needed.
They will also be collecting "Dignity Cards" to bring with them. This is something CHUMC started a few years ago and it has become a vital connection for the homeless. The cards to local Dunkin' , Starbucks, McDonald's, etc allows the bearer to enter a warm store, get a bite to eat, and, most importantly, use the facilities - something they have little access to outside.
In addition, the group will need to bring the following items with them for their group’s
visit:
- 1 package of 60 gallon trash bags
- 30 hot cups
- 30 cold cups
- Paper towels
- Dish soap & sponges
- 50 sandwich bags
- 10 oranges & 10 bananas
Clothing and item donations can be left in the box by the office. Donations for Dignity Cards can be placed in the "Admin Asst" mailbox. Thank you all for your generosity in supporting City Reach and Common Cathedral.
