Breakthrough is also holding their Annual Benefit Dinner on Friday, 10/17/14. It's a great opportunity to learn about all of the things that Breakthrough does and how you can get involved. There's no set cost for the dinner, but they do take up a donation. We're hosting a table and would love for you to join us, just choose "Bratschie, Amanda" from the dropdown and Soul City as your church. You can learn more and register online here.

Breakthrough Volunteer Updates

September 2014


Breakthrough's Annual Benefit Dinner is coming up on Friday, October 17th. It's a great way to learn more about Breakthrough, the impact they're having on the west side of Chicago, and how you can get involved. There are several folks from Soul City that are hosting tables this year, including me. I'd love for you to join us and sit at one of our tables. You can learn more and register online here.

We'll be kicking off a new Serving Group this fall and hope you'll consider being a part of this transformational experience. You can expect to see some more details next month for the new group to start in mid-September.

And don't forget - we always offer the 1x/month meal-serving opportunity on the 3rd Friday of every month at the Women's Facility. Our next meal serve is Friday, September 19th. We're trying something new for signups - so please use our new online signup form if you'd like to go by clicking here.

Thanks for everything you do to help us serve and love the guests at Breakthrough!

Love and Hugs -

Amanda (& Don)
