HandsOn Northeast Ohio Update

Thank you to all who served (and to those who signed up to serve but who were not called upon) the Cleveland Foodbank through UCUMC's partnership with HandsOn Northeast Ohio on August 31! Larry & Elaine Myers, Judy Sockman, Marina Grant, Jan Kimball, Zach Lewis and Rochelle McNorton sorted and re-packed pounds and pounds of meat for local families, kitchens, and pantries.

If this sounds like a fun and productive evening, you're right. That's why we're doing it again on Wednesday, October 12 at 6pm. For those who prefer weekend opportunities, we will be serving with MedWish on Saturday, October 1 at 10am, sorting and packing medical supplies. MedWish responds to crises across the globe by sending medical supplies. Sign up for either or both of these events at www.HandsOnNEO.org!

Remember, for HandsOn events, you must have attended an hour-long orientation session with HandsOn. The next orientation session is Monday, September 26 at 7:30pm. Sign up for the orientation at www.HandsOnNEO.org if you would like to join the more than 30 UCUMC volunteers with HandsOn. Doug Blank (dblank3@gmail.com) and Judy Sockman (jsockman@churchinthecircle.com) are always willing to answer questions about UCUMC outreach!

NOTE: The HandsOn website may indicate that no availability exists for these events; however, it may only appear full due to UCUMC's reserved slots. Join the waiting list for the event, and if slots remain, you will receive an e-mail within a few days indicating that you been accepted to work at the event.
