Volunteer Project For The Week Of July 1 2014

Volunteer project for this week is to raise funds for our Summer Beat The Heat Program, that provides assistance to widows with their summer utility bills.  Our first project is to provide assistance to Janice, (not her real name) who is facing having her electricity cut off in just a few days unless we can help her with paying the bill.  Approximately $400.00 is needed to complete this important project, your volunteer donation of $10.00 or more is greatly appreciated.  We take great pride in screening everyone who asks for assistance.  We make sure they have a genuine need and not just living month to month off the generosity of others.  Each widow can receive assistance only once during a 12 month period unless there is an approved emergency.  Janice has had some extra expenses in paying for insurance and plumbing repairs and has gotten behind on her utility bill.  We are praying for good people to step up to the plate and help us hit a home run and keep the electricity and the air conditioner on all summer for Janice.  The temperature in West Tennessee is in the 90's with the Heat index need 100.  It is very important for us to be able to meet this need.
