The Outreach Committee met on Tuesday evening and acknowledged the donations of $500 to help Resurrection House with roof repairs and $500 to assist the St. Petersburg Free Clinic in purchase of Diabetic Test Strips. These monies came from funds generated by last April's Golf Tournament. Bill Thomas is investigating the involvement of the Committee in this year's Tournament on April 14th.
Marla Hicks reported that 246 items have been collected in August for Food for Families for the St. Petersburg Free Clinic Food Bank but stressed that we need to bring in more food to achieve the 1000 item challenge set by the committee. We all appreciate her willingness to deliver these goods to the Free Clinic and Bill Thomas has offered to help with this project. Hardy Bryan continues to provide publicity for Pam to insert into Tidings and St. Thomas Scoop.
All members are actively involved in projects to better the community in the name of St. Thomas' parishioners. If you have suggestions or questions, please see one of the members of the committee or stop by our table at the Ministry Fair on September 26th.
