Come and join us!!! Starting in March our American Rescue Workers box truck will be in the Hollidaysburg Church of the Brethren parking lot the first SATURDAY of EACH MONTH, weather permitting. We will be collecting Non perishable food items for our pantry and Clothing. Hours will be from 10:00 am until 2:00 pm. You will be able to drop off your donations and get a tax receipt at the same time!
The Churches will be manning the truck schedule with teams of two people working in two-hour shifts. If your church has not already signed up for this ministry and would like to become a part of it, please call Keith Eldred, who is coordinating this effort, at 695-7631. This is a fun way to help your community and the mission at the same time.
We RECYCLE used plastic grocery bags, and use them to pack our food pantry orders. Please drop them off at our 811 Scotch Valley Rd. Address, or give us a call for more information.
 Don't know what to do with your old cell phone? Donate it!!! We collect them and recycle them for a small profit! The money goes to our many projects and programs here at the mission.

PROJECT ESTHER 2011!
I was truly overwhelmed this year with the amount of donations, dresses and monetary, towards Project Esther. I really believe that it shows how much our community cares about the local youth and programs that help them. With the help of your donations, 20 girls received prom dresses this year from Project Esther. Many families do not have extra money for a costly prom dress. Project Esther helps local teen girls by providing them with a free dress, shoes, purses and other accessories. Also, Project Esther treats the girls to a Spa Night. The Spa Night was held on April 15th. The girls and volunteers had fun getting to know each other and getting pampered. Each girl received a gift basket with items like nail polish, lotion, make-up bag, devotional, perfume and disposable camera. Because of your generous donations, each girl also received a gift card to a local hair salon. At Spa Night, the girls received manicures, pedicures and facials. During Spa Night, we also discussed a devotional titled "The Truth About Ken and Barbie." The devotional focused on helping the girls understand that God is more interested in your heart and who are inside than what you look like on the outside. Many of the girls left Spa Night happier than when they came. And that alone made Spa Night a success. We want to thank our volunteers who helped at Spa Night: Ellen (manicures), Angel (facials), Christine (pedicures), Michelle (alterations), Monica (photographer) and Genee (food and clean-up). Without you, Spa Night would not have been possible. And again, thank you for all the generous donations.
How can you help with this program?
***Donate new or gently used formal dresses, jewelry and purses.
***Donate new make-up and nail polish– samples from Avon or Mary Kay will work great!
***Volunteers who are able to sew and alter dresses.
***Volunteers for spa night to assist with manicures, pedicures, facials and make-up.
***Donate gift cards for local hair or nail salons or monetary donations to help with cost of Spa Night.
Donations can be dropped off at the 811 Scotch
Valley Road, Hollidaysburg location.
If you have any questions or would like to donate items or volunteer your time, please call Nicole at 695-0766.
