Mission of the Minute – 2021
Mission of the Minute is an ongoing gathering of items for the following:
- Grocery sacks for the mobile food pantry which comes once a month to the Methodist parking lot.
- Eyeglasses for the leper colony in India (I have two sacks at home ready to go whenever the eye doctor can go back to India).
- Little Free Library – we keep it well stocked, and it is being used.
- Blood/platelet donations
Mission of the Month – 2021
Due to COVID we were unable to gather during the first part of the year and didn’t get back to in-person worship until May.
- June – Refugee Services of North Texas. We provided some tablets for new clients that were arriving.
- July – Wise Hope Shelter and Crises Center. We gathered school supplies for their clients’ children as well as paper towels, paper plates, zip-lock bags, facial tissue, sanitizing wipes, laundry detergent, trash bags, coffee and creamer.
- August – Veteran Services. We provided the following needed items: cloth or reusable grocery bags, travel sized laundry soap, personal travel size bars of soap, shampoo, deodorant, toothbrushes/paste, hand sanitizer.
- September – Wise Health System. The Chamber of Commerce posted a calendar and we picked September 30 to be the day Resurrection would go to the hospital with our offering. We supplied goody bags to their staff. We filled 75 bags with snacks, chips, popcorn, crackers, candy, silly little fuzzy characters, pencils, pens, stickers, but the biggest gift we could give was handwritten, heartfelt, thank you/appreciation cards for each bag. We found out later that the bags went to the nursing staff. They were elated.
- October – Wise County Animal Shelters. This year the items needed are bleach, Dawn, kitten chow, dry dog food, cat litter, cat toys, 409 spray, liquid laundry detergent, dryer sheets.
- November – Refugees Services of North Texas was in need of several items and an Amazon wish list was established. People could go to Amazon and purchase individual items to be sent to their address. Also, we collected numerous gently used and new coats of different sizes for the refugees who came to this country and are experiencing different climate.
- December – Toys for Tots
