Our February Outreach
Our February Outreach will be financial support for two Episcopal Relief and Development (ERD) projects. Episcopal Relief and Development’s mission is to facilitate healthier, more fulfilling lives in communities struggling with hunger, poverty, disaster, and disease. Our donations will go to two separate projects.
· Middle East: Episcopal Diocese of Jerusalem & Al-Ahli, Hospital, medicine, supplies (Gaza conflict).
· Ukraine Crisis: Humanitarian Aid (Russia conflict).
Please note in the memo line of your check or on your envelope which project your dollars will support. ERD uses 90% of every dollar collected in support of its projects.
Our November Outreach: Sioux Falls Union Gospel Mission
Founded in 1900, the Union Gospel Mission of Sioux Falls is the 2nd oldest rescue mission in the US. It is the largest emergency shelter in the Sioux Falls area, providing shelter and meals for an average of 125 men, women and children daily. Our donations help this organization meet critical needs to persons facing homelessness, including nutritious meals, safe shelter, showers/clean clothes, basic medical care, access to social services/case management, job training resources/education, and daily faith healing through chapel services and Bible study. Donations can be made online at ugmsiouxfalls.com, or checks can be made payable to Good Shepherd Church with UGM noted in the memo line. A bin has been placed in the back of the sanctuary to collect items most needed at this time (new underwear, coats, shoes, socks, warm winter clothing, gloves/hats).
