SOCIAL JUSTICE LEGISLATIVE ISSUES CARD WRITING CONTINUES: Please join us in the FH this Sunday, June 29, as we write postcards to the Greenville City Council about their proposed ordinance that will serve to criminalize homelessness. Jailing the unhoused is cruel and inhumane, is fiscally irresponsible, and does absolutely nothing to resolve the problem. They plan on voting on this ordinance on August 11, so we need to get as many postcards to them as possible. Let’s speak up for those whose voices are being ignored.

RESULTS FOR MAY 25: A resounding “Thank You!” to everyone who contributed to the Food Not Bombs food drive. The congregation generously donated a generous amount of shelf-stable food as well as $205 in cash.

On a weekly basis Food Not Bombs provides food to those experiencing food insecurity as well as to those living on the streets. Your donations are greatly needed and immensely appreciated. Our pantry wagon is picked up every week.
