Donation Drop Off to Beaverton Resource Center:
Kathy Prenger and Vicki Fitzgerald of The Gabriel Center dropped off a wealth of donations from the people of our church to the Beaverton Resource Center on Wednesday including:
- $218 worth of quarters for people to use the laundromat;
- 1000+ diapers purchased with a grant from Thrivent Financial;
- Two cases of shampoo;
- Toilet paper and tissues;
- Lots of “love and care”.
The church received a thank you letter from Lisa Mentesana from BRC thanking our congregation and saying “our resource center can only begin to help those in need with friends like you. By offering an array of social services in one location, we empower those dealing with hunger, homelessness, and poverty to create more stability and a permanent change for a better tomorrow.”
