Shelter from the Storm

Past event
Oct 6, 2019, 10 to 11:30 AM

This Sunday, October 6, we offer a special program on homelessness in the Upper Valley. Winter is coming.There are too many people in our communities with no place to call home including children. Our special guests will be Jill Lord, Director of Community Health at Mt. Ascutney Hospital and Health Center in Windsor and Mike Chamness, organizer of UV Gear, a local non-profit that provides emergency supplies to homeless citizens of The Upper Valley and chairman of the Hartford Committee on Homelessness. We will hear about some programs that are working to reduce the suffering of homeless families and discuss ways to participate.

The collection this week will support UVGear , a local organization working to offer practical assistance to Upper Valley citizens who are homeless. They offer food support, warm clothing, sleeping bags, bicycles and other transportation support, personal hygiene items and any other needed supplies, and they also are working to build a network of support in our region for this very significant area of concern. Started just a few years ago by Enfield resident Bev McKinley, UV Gear has grown to be an important, growing, and needed resource working for justice and support of those among us facing homelessness. You can learn more at https://uvgear.org

Please join us for worship and religious education for children on each Sunday beginning at 10 am. Free and open coffee hour immediately following the service.

We are located at 8 Brownsville Rd, (next to Skunk Hollow Tavern), just off Rt 12 in Hartland Four Corners.
