COLLECTING COATS FOR INTERFAITH REFUGEES

MFPC Mission Interpretation Committee members Tom O'Neil, Sandy Manciocchi, and Joanna Bogdan-Fyles count and pack coats, hats, mittens and scarves donated by church members. The donations were taken to Interfaith Works and will be given to refugee families the organization helps to settle in our community.

 

 

INTERFAITH WORKS CENTER FOR NEW AMERICANS

Following our tradition of “getting out of the pews” when there are five Sundays in the month and into the community for a hands-on mission experience,16 volunteers left the parking lot after worship on Sunday, September 29 for the InterFaith Works (IFW) warehouse in East Syracuse. After a brief orientation by IFW staff, two groups of volunteers headed to two apartments, which will soon house incoming refugee families. Furniture was arranged, beds made up, curtains hung, bathrooms readied, and the kitchens cleaned and stocked with dishes, pots and pans and cooking utensils.   Read more.......
