Current Needs at Brook Baptist Church
September 14, 2012
Fall Festival: Block party trailer
3-4 volunteers to help distribute
invitations in our community
4 or 5 volunteers (2 women would be great) to help set up, staff, tear down (We will have lots of volunteers as well.)
Loaves and Fishes Food Ministry:
Monday or Wednesday a.m. pick ups at local grocery stores (usually between 8 and 10 a.m.) 1-3 volunteers
Monday packing bags, boxes (between 4 and 7 p.m.). 2-4 volunteers
Wednesday intake of clients (2:45-5:00 p.m. shift or 4:45-7:00 p.m. shift) 1-3 volunteers
Wednesday monitoring of shopping tables (2:45-5:00 p.m. shift or 4:45-7:00 p.m. shift) 1-3 volunteers
A volunteer at your church willing to gather plastic or paper grocery bags from your members (a constant
need as we use between 4 and 500 per week!)
Financial support:
Our budget is really very low considering the fact that we distribute over 35,000 lbs. of food per
month to approximately 600 families.
If we had greater income, we could purchase healthier food items. 1 in 5 children in America are food
insecure at some point during the year, but 1 in 3 are obese!
In addition, our utility costs are very high since we are working in the church building so much.
Greater income would also give us the opportunity to purchase and distribute more Bibles and
evangelistic material in other languages since we have a number of other cultures represented in our
clientele.
