Hello everyone! I just wanted to give you and update on the Laundry Love project that will be happening tomorrow. I just got word that 66 people (30 families) are pre-registered to come down and get their laundry done.
First of all, thank you to all of my readers who have donated money towards this cause as well as hygiene products, laundry supplies, and for those of you who have volunteered as well! It has been truly overwhelming to see God work through all of you -especially in such a short time. We feel so encouraged.
If there are still people out there who would like to contribute just let me know and I will give you the contact information. We will be at Southside Laundry from 10am-2pm this Saturday. Since we are serving so many people we are still in the need of more quarters. If we could raise another $100 in quarters I think we will be covered. So, it is time to clean out your couch cushions (I always seem to find a couple dollars in change in their!), check the console in your car, and anywhere else quarters seem to be hanging out.
We hope to be able to continue the Laundry Love project for as long as their is a need in this community so all donated items will continue to be used. Jason and I have also be praying about starting this project in nearby communities - possibly partnering with another ministry to help us get things coordinated as well as keeping it running. I am thinking that will be pursued post chemo unless God calls us to do it early as He did this time. We are just open and willing to serve wherever the Lord calls us to.
We also have had a few donations so that we will be able to provide a lunch for the families as well. I am grateful that we will be able to do this as I am excited for this time of fellowship. If you have supplies that you would be willing to donate for the lunch we would be grateful - paper plates, napkins, drinks, etc. If you would like to drop off some cookies for dessert - whatever God lays on your heart.
Please keep us all in prayer and especially the families that are in need.
God bless you all - thanks for reading, thanks for caring, and thanks for praying.
Love to all,
Andrea
