Many health providers are using
online messaging and registration
to organize the distribution of the
COVID vaccine. But, there are LOTS of people in our church and community without the technology or experience
to do this online.
Please reach out to family, friends and neighbors to see if they need assistance getting in virtual line for their
life-saving vaccination.
|
|
If you personally are unable to help these folks get connected,
please call the office (675-0005) and we will get help
for them so they can register and get notified when it is their turn!

Can You?
Can you afford to put ONE extra can
(or box) of food into your grocery cart
each week?
If so, our church could collect an overwhelming amount of food for the Food Pantry.
People in OUR area are facing
food insecurity and WE can help!

The pandemic, economy, natural disasters and cold weather increase the need in our community and world.
World Medical Relief operates four programs at little or no cost to low-income persons in Metro Detroit. The recycling of usable medical and dental equipment, supplies, instruments and good-date medications donated by area hospitals, clinics, physician offices, companies and
individuals is the key to their success. WMR has the ability to utilize these items in its services and programs that help people all around the world. These recycling activities kept 990,853 pounds of useable medical goods out of the landfill last year!
Used medical equipment, medical supplies of all types and good-dated medicines are always accepted -including, but not limited to, the items listed to the right. If you have questions about an item you would like to donate, please call.
PH: 313-866-5333
Donations are also accepted at
WMR offices at 21725 Melrose Avenue,
Southfield, Michigan 48075, and larger items
can be scheduled for pick up.
