During the months of November and December, the parishioners of St. Edward’s reached out to the wider community in many ways:
Camp Fire/ALERT
We collected over $600 in gift cards. In response to devastating fires in California. ALERT collected gift cards in any amount to send to St. Johns Episcopal Church in Chico, California to be distributed to those who have lost so much in the Camp fire. The gift card collection was organized by Ted Cardwell.
UTO Ingathering
We collected $581.58 for our UTO Ingathering, organized by Ellen Milligan.
Jesse Tree
We collected gifts and monetary donations for 60 children in the COBYS organization as part of our annual Jesse Tree collection to help those children that are in need at Christmas time. Many thanks to the Social Outreach Committee, including Beth Lynch, Leslie Arnold, Ellen and Kevin Milligan and all those who donated and helped to shop, wrap and deliver the gifts.
