Outreach Update From University Circle United Methodist Church

Summer is here, but the Committee on Outreach and Local Mission is NOT on vacation.

Here's what we have been up to and how you can get involved:

Rebuilding Together, Cleveland - Saturday, July 30, 8am-4pm
Volunteers from "Rebuilding Together" will be painting and fixing up several homes in the Cleveland area. If you would like to be part of the UCUMC work group, please sign up in the church office. For more information about the project, contact Doug Blank (dblank3ATgmail.com), or speak to any of the many volunteers who participated in last year's workday. The website for the organization is: www.rebuildingtogethercleveland.org. Bob Taylor can be seen in the slide show.

Cleveland Foodbank - Wednesday, August 31, 6-8pm
Volunteers in the HandsOn network are welcome to participate in a variety of volunteer opportunities at any time. Our first volunteer opportunity as an "official" UCUMC Team will be Wednesday, August 31, 6-8pm at the Cleveland Foodbank. Remember, you must be a part of the HandsOn network to join us in this event. If you have planned or are planning on attending a HandsOn orientation session prior to August 31, please let Doug Blank (dblank3ATgmail.com) know if you would like to participate in the Foodbank volunteer event.

Berea Children's Home
Thanks to everyone who sold and purchased Cleveland Indians tickets to support the Berea Children's Home. The $500 given here at UCUMC helped the Berea Children's Home receive $28,000 from the Indians organization.
