Weeks 4-5
At Grace, we are In The City For Good and Heat Respite is doing that on a daily basis! For the first two weeks in July, we had 1,657 entries for our program, including almost 650 total volunteer hours. We celebrated the 4th of July with a special holiday lunch prepared by St. Mary’s Basilica. We have had some other great volunteer groups, donating their time, meals, water, and finically supporting our program. We could not do this program without all of your help so thank you very much!
I would like to thank the following persons for volunteering their time and hard work almost every day of the past two weeks:
Marlene Haller
Frank Soto
Sven Lenkewitz
Lori Thompson
Stephanie A.
Tarvies Mayweather
We also several groups either donate food for lunches as well as volunteer their time with us. We are so grateful of their time and talents!
First UCC
Peace Lutheran Church
New Journey Lutheran Church
The program is using up to 3 to 4 cases of water every two hours, and I would like to thank some very large water donors recently. They include:
Mountain View Lutheran Church, Phoenix
New Covenant Lutheran Church, Scottsdale
Life in Christ Lutheran Church, Peoria
Love of Christ Lutheran Church, Mesa
Also, thank you to St. Andrew Lutheran Church, Phoenix, and Our Savior's Lutheran Church, Mesa, for donating snack items several times over the past several weeks.
