Greetings, Wonderful Breakthrough
It's June! Can't stand the lack of heat?! Come on in to the kitchens! Make some room in your calendar for one or both of our meal serves this month. And don't forget about the Hunger Walk on the 29th too! Let me know if you plan on coming to any of our volunteer opportunities this month - see you soon! :)
JUNE MEAL OPPORTUNITIES
Here are the dates for this month's regularly scheduled serving opps:
- Men's Facility Serve - Thursday, 6/13 (402 N St. Louis)
- Women's Serve - Friday, 6/21 (3330 W Carroll Ave)
As always, just let me know if you're interested in and able to join us for a meal serve and I'll save a spot for you.
AFTER THE SERVE
We want to try something new - so after this month's Thursday evening men's serve at Breakthrough, we'll be inviting all volunteers to join us as we meet at The Green Tomato Cafe in North Lawndale (about 9ish). We'll have scones and coffee (decaf too) as we talk through our serving experiences. We hope you can make it! :)
HUNGER WALK 2013
Join Breakthrough's walking team with us to help raise funds to provide fresh food for Breakthrough's interim housing guests. Breakthrough earns $12 for every walker that participates on our team. You can also sponsor a walker or support the Breakthrough team by making an online donation. For more information on the Hunger Walk and to register, click here. Just be sure to write in your church name and let me know so we can be watching for you. If there's enough interest, we might even organize a carpool. ;)
Saturday, June 29, 2013 @ Soldier Field - Registration at 7am-8:30 Step-Off.
NEED A GIFT IDEA?
Father's Day is right around the corner (Sunday, 6/16) - and what do you get for the papa that has everything? What about a donation to a worthy cause in his honor? If that sounds like something your dad would love, consider a gift donation to Breakthrough.Click here to donate online.
BEHIND THE SCENES TOUR
Breakthrough is so much more than just a meal-serving opportunity. They have multiple programs for positively impacting the West Side of Chicago - from the fresh market to the kids' programs to homeless intervention. Come out to one of their Behind the Scenes Tours to learn more about the many ways that Breakthrough is reaching out to folks living on the west side of Chicago. Tours are on the first Monday of each month - the next one is Monday, June 3rd (TOMORROW!) at 6:15 PM. For more information or to register for the tour,click here.
Thanks everyone! Hope to see you soon!
Love and Hugs!
