Extra Love = Us + our Fostering Families
To get to "Show Love & Shore Up SPECIFICALLY"!!!
As a church family we would love to be "a little extra" and acknowledge the workers intertwined with the Fostering Families we love on in Grant.
In the past we did this with 'extra treats' and a postcard sentiment of: " thanks for working with a family we love - thank you - we hold you all in our prayers & hearts - from their church family..." (as example)
We have stories of how that little gesture has changed relationships & softened hearts, encouraged both the workers and the fostering families knowing we "care enough".
Church to make this happen we can use chocolates or treats, individually wrapped is most helpful (IF possible) example Lindt chocolates, Candy Canes, Wether's candies, Hersey Kisses, most chocolates from Costco are individually wrapped in the boxes... just suggestions!
Ofcourse donations are accepted and our shopper volunteers can be put to work.
AND we would love delivery drop off drivers! Deliveries would have to be done during daytime working hours, the week of Dec 11th-15th preferred.
**** IF YOU or Someone you know should be added to our list to "love on" please hit the "I can help" button to connect & let me know

UPDATE: Space for Mom to Be
UPDATE: Baby has been born!!
Momma & Babe will be moving in this week.
There was ROOM IN THE INN!!!!
After exhausting community resources and connections, a first time expectant mom (in her 30's) needs a place to stay. There is no other family in the country and being connected to Grant she has turned to the church family for help. There is great effort underway to find long-term housing but in the meantime the baby is due SOON! Do you have a spare room, basement suite, or ideas? Please share with your friends/family too and see if we can help this family avoid staying in a shelter with her newborn. We can help with beds, crib, baby stuff after we find a roof! Please Pray!

Love = Us + CarePortal Churches!
It's a busy season BUT a chance to be intentional with building & strengthening relationships!
We are jumping into loving on 198 CFS & Child Serving workers connected with Careportal. This will look like individual gifts for each department and worker - a small token of love, prayer, and acknowledgement.
We are pooling together any donations with other Careportal churches to ensure everyone gets the same token & that responders from around our city can contribute.
Each worker's gift will cost approx $2.75
We would LOVE help to do a few drop deliveries between the 11th to 15th of Dec. Deliveries would need to be made during daytime working hours.
Needs:
# of people who will be helped:

Preemie & Family Care
Church we get to love on a sweet little girl fighting & growing in the NICU after she came almost 14 weeks early! She has a loving family of 4 who are involved within our church & eager to show her off... when she's ready!
Meanwhile Momma is healing & Dad is juggling work schedules, all while navigating "How To Do This Life" between the universe of hospital and home.
Alas sickness & germs have hit the siblings, and while trying to isolate to keep healing & avoid germs so she can visit the babe, the housework & desire to sanitize everything is a heavy mental load!!
How we can help shore this family up: A mealtrain has been created so we can help provide dinners for their family, also we are hoping to collect for a gift of a cleaning service. and potentially help for the exorbitant parking fees.
Here is the link for the mealtrain: (you have to copy and paste/type it out as it won't direct link here...)
