Around the Curb – October 2017

by | Oct 9, 2017 | Newsletter, Street Ministry

CANDY & CANNED FOODS!

Candy and Canned Goods is a drive to help us provide some basic needs to our Lee Pointe families.
 
Candy will be used for our Chair2Chair Candy Craze- Envision your local church’s “Trunk or Treat.” Spinning off of that idea, Curbside simplifies this by eliminating the car, and replacing it with a lawn chair. This method ensures our volunteers a face-to-face opportunity with each child that participates in the candy craze. Candy Crazy takes place on Thursday, Oct. 26th @ 5:00 pm.
 
Canned Goods will be used for our Thanksgiving Box Giveaway. Each family at our Lee Pointe location will receive a box full of canned goods to help with their Thanksgiving meal. We will hand deliver these boxes on Thursday, Nov. 16th @ 5:30 pm.

BEHIND THE SCENES

Ever wonder if Curbside is only on Tuesday/Thursday nights??? Well, the answer is NO!!!
Curbside’s Office is open Monday-Friday, 9 am – 3 pm. We are located on Fairview Ave. above Sheldon’s Express Pharmacy. THIS IS WHERE THE MAGIC HAPPENS, PEOPLE!
Our office is the hub for every upcoming event and new idea. From balancing the check book to wrapping Praise Party gifts, we are constantly working on what is next.
If you ever want to stop by, please feel free! We welcome visitors with coffee and a good chat about what’s “around the curb.” If you have a group in need of a service project, let us know! We always have an event that could use attention or a box that needs stuffed.
Stop by and see us @ the Curbside Office! We would love to see ya!
 
 
 

CURBSIDE CREW

Russell & Kelly Maston

Parker Bennett
We want to take time each month to spotlight one of the MANY wonderful Curbside volunteers. This month, we want to celebrate Russell and Kelly Maston!

Russell and Kelly have been apart of the Curbside Crew since the very beginning! They have shown up every Tuesday night for almost 6 years to help serve food and turn a jump rope–HOW FAITHFUL!!! They both come straight from work to the streets and serve together as a family.

They are always smiling, always willing to pray with a kiddo, and always ready to prepare a meal. Russell and Kelly don’t just walk the walk, they talk the talk! Thank you both for being wonderful examples of what it looks like to see a family serving their community! Parker Bennett Curbside would not know what to do with out you two!
