Mission statement:
Interfaith Emergency Services is a not-for-profit organization which brings together people of all faiths who seek to minister to persons in need through combined prayer and action. We strive to be the church in action and to find unity in purpose through our singular and combined faith and dictate to love and serve our fellow man. Our History: In 1983, the religious pastoral community in Marion County saw a need to provide emergency assistance to individuals and families in crisis. With a minimal group of workers, Interfaith Emergency Services was given birth. For more than two decades, Interfaith has continued to serve the people of Marion County with sincere Christian love and caring devotion.
11/30/2010 - I was at church Sunday (the 28th) and saw that there was a change on needs for Interfaith. Previously, they were asking for food items like speghetti and sauce, other items that are canned or non parishable. They were now asking for personal care items. I went to the dollar store last night and was able to pick up a lot I think, especially with multipacks. I spent a little over my goal, which is fine. I may go there again for when I shop for the Rape Crisis/Spouse abuse center. Both are benevolences that my church serves. It is nice to help others.
I did this a total of 3 times but failed to write about them. I will be adding $5 to the pot for the charity that will be getting whatever I do not complete out of the 1001 days.
