WE NEED YOUR HELP!
Christmas Adopt-a-Family Program

It is time to start thinking about Christmas! This is our second Christmas Adopt-a-Family program, and we need your help to bless our clients and their families this year!
 
Last year, you helped provide 108 Vida families with Christmas gifts with items like hats, gloves, socks, $10 gas/grocery gift cards, and toys. We would GREATLY appreciate if your church would like to participate this year. The church (or committee) would have from October 10 - November 20 to collect items, and they need to be dropped off at Vida by Monday, November 21.
 
If you are interested in helping us out this year and want to adopt a Vida family for Christmas, please let Claire (choslet@vidasupportservices.org or 920-731-4354) know soon! Think about how many families you would like to adopt, and then Claire will send info and ages to you by October 10.  

Thank you!
PARTNER SPOTLIGHT
We'd love to spotlight just a few of the churches who have blessed us recently! We really could not serve our patients, clients, and families without you!

In July and August, we received $8,500 in financial gifts from the following church partners: Congregation of St. Therese, Life Bridge Christian Church, St. Pius X, Cornerstone Church, Hope Community Church, Faith Lutheran Church, Sacred Heart Parish, St. Gabriel the Archangel, Pathways Church, Shepherd of the Hills Lutheran Church, and Peace Evangelical and Reformed Church.

Faith Lutheran Church collected size 4, 5, and 6 diapers and baby wipes as part of their Vacation Bible School week.

St. John the Baptist in Seymour collected donations for Vida.

St. Mary of the Immaculate Conception in Greenville brings donations weekly from their collection bin for Vida.

Fox Valley Respect Life Committee sponsored the July playdate for our Support Services families at St. Gabriel the Archangel Catholic Church in Neenah. They provided fellowship and the meal for 13 families.

Christ the Rock Church sponsored the August playdate for our Support Services families at Appleton Memorial Park. They provided fellowship and the meal for 15 families. They are also running a Baby Bottle Drive for Vida in August.

THANK YOU, FRIENDS!
OUR IMPACT
WAYS TO HELP!
Please email us if you are able to help with any of these needs!
Pray at Vida: We are seeking church leaders to come to Vida for a lunch-hour visit to pray with our nurses, mentors, staff, and volunteers. We greatly need spiritual encouragement as we continue this life-giving work.

Donate to Vida: We keep an updated needs list on our website. Currently our greatest need is Size 4, 5, and 6 diapers. If you are doing a donation drive for Vida, please call the office and ask Claire what the greatest need is at that time.

Host a Vida Playdate: Vida plans regular playdates for our Support Services clients to grow in relationship with each other and have the opportunity to mingle with Christians from our partner churches over dinner. We need churches to host events at their location and provide the meal!

Vida’s Youth Outreach Program: offers education on healthy relationships, goal setting, teen pregnancy and other sexual health topics to area youth inside school classrooms, clubs and church youth groups. If you are interested in having a Vida Medical Clinic Nurse present to your youth group, please contact Trina Batley at 920-731-4354. 

Become a Church Partner Coordinator: If you are interested in volunteering at Vida and love building relationships, we could use your help a few hours a month!

Update Your Website and place Vida brochures in gathering spaces: Please consider adding Vida to your website as an outreach mission that you support. If we're on your site already, please make sure information is accurate and up-to-date.
