Med Shed Update
Holy Cross has come through with our usual generosity in making numerous donations to the Shed. Many thanks on behalf of those for whom this will be a great blessing. Here's what we have: wheelchairs, rollators, walkers, crutches, canes, potty seats, shower benches, nebulizers, and an orthopedic shoe and boot. Now's the time for each of us to become particularly mindful of who among us might have a need for these resources. Additionally, there have been questions about whether the donation of disposable supplies are appropriate; like Depends, catheters, etc. They are not lendable for the Shed ; however, if you have such supplies, I am willing to take them and donate them to a group like hospice for you. Again, your generosity is greatly appreciated! Peggy Tollison, 865-556-9071 Call me to make arrangements for your donation to be picked up.
*All equipment will be sanitized before lending or relending.

Over the summer we collect minimal items (please make sure the expiration date extends past 9/2022. We collect monetary donations year round to ensure we can meet the needs of Hickory Tavern Elementary and fill any gaps we may come across. Have questions? Want to be a packer or delivery team?

Do you know that there are things stored all around our Holy Cross property that have no known use or owner? To maximize our limited storage spaces, a committee has been formed to prioritize what should be retained and stored. For items that parishioners wish to donate, retention will be discussed with the appropriate ministry leader, such as hospitality, children's ministries, alter guild, grounds, etc. The committee will make decisions with the ministry leader based on available storage and current or future needs. This will allow us to maximize our space and support current and new ministries.
If you have something you feel would be useful to a Holy Cross ministry, please contact a committee member before dropping it off at the church. This will allow us to decide together how your donation may be used and stored.
We appreciate your help and look forward to working with you to utilize our wonderful facilities efficiently and support our current and future ministries.
Current committee members are:
Kerry Kelley
Tom Jones
Greg Farley
Peggy Tollison

Your copy should address 3 key questions: Who am I writing for? (Audience) Why should they care? (Benefit) What do I want them to do here? (Call-to-Action)
Create a great offer by adding words like "free" "personalized" "complimentary" or "customized." A sense of urgency often helps readers take an action, so think about inserting phrases like "for a limited time only" or "only 7 remaining!"
