Thank you for Supporting Social Ministry
Posted Jan. 25, 2024
Our Savior’s Way continues to support the Loudoun Homeless Center with meals and supplies. Since the Cold Weather Shelter (CWS) opened on November 15th for the winter, groups and individuals from our church have provided meals for 75 to 90 residents plus drop-ins. We have also supplied 2,000 Styrofoam cups, 16 gallons of milk, 18 dozen eggs, 12 pounds of coffee, plus creamer, 10 pounds of sugar, 500+ water bottles, and 240 detergent pods.
Many thanks to our members who have also donated non-perishable, canned goods! Please continue to help support our community by signing up to provide a meal or donating to the Benevolence Fund. Your assistance and donations allow us to help with utility bills and keep our community fed, warm, and in their homes.
