Outreach Community Service Project – Making Homeless Bed Rolls Nov 15

Many of us are blessed to have a warm, dry home to spend our nights in a cozy bed. Unfortunately, hundreds of individuals don’t have that same luxury. Once the shelters are full, many spend their evening outside in all kinds of weather. We have been called to help our neighbors. St. Timothy will be participating in a Community Service Project on November 15 from 9am–Noon. We will be making bedrolls for the homeless in Brodnick Hall. These bedrolls are made with tarps, thermal survival foil, fleece blankets, duct tape and Para cord. Each blanket will keep a homeless person dry and warm down to negative nine degrees. This can be the difference between life and death.

The cost of each bedroll is approximately $20 each. Our goal is to make 100 – 150 bedrolls. The cost of materials can add up quickly. I am asking for donations of fleece blankets, size 50×60, and emergency survival thermal blankets and other supplies. These items can be purchased on Amazon, either separately or in bulk, using the URL or QR code provided here. I will happily accept financial donations if you would prefer I do the shopping.

All purchases must be to the parish office by October 31.     https://tinyurl.com/27dh2hyw
