Outreach Opps - Week of 3/30

This week, we invite you to:

HELP WITH SPECIAL PROJECT ON WEDNESDAY
10 people are needed in the uptown area from 9am - 12pm on Wednesday, April 1 to help meet an immediate need thru community partners CMS and Second Harvest. Email  Angela Schlottman (angelas@carmelbaptist.org) if available to serve. Must be 18 years+.

VOLUNTEER AT A FOOD BANK
Note that social distancing protocols have been put in place. Click  here for volunteer opportunities at Second Harvest.

DONATE BLOOD
If you are healthy and able, consider donating blood. There is a huge need since the majority of the scheduled blood drives were cancelled all around the country. Click here or visit the Red Cross website for details on safety protocol and donation sites near you.

(All of the above opportunities are considered essential tasks for the care of our community, under CharMeck Responds and therefore allowable, even under the stay at home order.)
