GAMMON SCHOOL SUPPLIES CAMPAIGN PROGRESS – As of today, we are almost 60 percent toward our $5,000 funding goal to restock the Gammon School Supply Closet. Thank you to those who have donated! Your gifts will provide high-demand supplies for Gammon classrooms and students, a large majority of whom are from low-income families. Without our gifts, students either do without supplies, or teachers tap into personal incomes to purchase them. A volunteer will gladly accept your gift at our Fellowship Hall table any Sunday in June. Or you may mail a check noted for this purpose to the church office. Keep those dollars coming! CALL FOR HABITAT FOR HUMANITY VOLUNTEERS – Earlier this year, one of the Gammon Newcomer families who we gifted with presents last Christmas, earned eligibility for a Habitat House. Their house, part of Habitat’s Rock the Block Initiative, is located at 1143 N. Estelle and is almost completed. This seven-member family, refugees three years ago from a camp in Tanzania, has put in 400 hours of “sweat equity”. They are thrilled that they will soon be in their new home. We are recruiting volunteers for a final interior and exterior clean-up of the property on Tuesday morning, June 25, from 9:00 -11:30 a.m. Please contact Cyndi Richter or Marla Flentje if you would like to be a part of our UCC crew.
