BLOOD MOBILE DATE CHANGE ~ Sunday, February 26, 2012
Please change your calendar to reflect February 26, 2012. Plan accordingly and give the gift of life! Blood supplies typically drop in the winter months due to bad weather and illness yet someone in the U.S. needs blood every 2 seconds. One unit can help three people. Call Gloria Bailey with your questions at 541-345-5392.
FOOD DRIVE continues . . . "BETTER THAN THE BUS"
Hunger in Oregon made national news last Sunday on the cover of Parade magazine. On the "Fill the Bus" campaign held earlier this year, the Eugene community donated 4738 pounds of food for Food for Lane County. We are going to be "Better than the Bus". 
Beginning next week, Food for Lane County will be regularly collecting our contributions and reporting the weight of our contributions. One barrel averages 250 pounds. Our goal for this year is 5000 pounds - better than the bus. Our current contributions should put us well on our way. Look for our bus and watch as we "fill the bus" one donation at a time. This month the emphasis will be on hearty soups (as in those that look like stews with meat) - but any item is welcome. Please place your items in the barrels in the sanctuary. Thanks for your generosity!!
January Update ~ Congratulations! Another 714 pounds of food! That makes about 1450 pounds already for Food for Lane County! At this rate we can fill a whole fleet of buses by the end of next year. Protein rich food are still the first priority but they are also looking for low sugar content foods particularly canned fruits. As always, any expression of your generosity is welcome.
See What's Happening in January!
