Bring light to an inner city child!
We will be bringing the sunshine and FUN to about 900 kids living in New York City on Saturday, February 13.
Come out and be a positive influence to a young life, and help give them a better tomorrow.
SATURDAY, February 13
9am-4pm
Have you been looking for a way to make a lasting difference in the City, but there seems to always be a time conflict? Or do you find that something always comes up at the last minute?
GREAT NEWS! You can still make a lasting difference in the City of Richmond!
We will be serving the homeless of Richmond on THURSDAY, February 4, from 11:30am to 1:00pm.
Please join us!
If you cannot physically participate in the outreach, but still want to help out, you can volunteer to help make sandwiches, and we also are accepting new toothbrushes, toothpaste, bar soaps, and deodorants! Please let me know if you would like to donate any of these items to be given to the homeless.
GET INVOLVED AND MAKE A DIFFERENCE!
Are you ready for some Monday Night Food?!
There are people who are hungry and starving. Come serve the homeless a warm dinner, as you love on them and spread cheer!
Bring your smile, a helping hand, and an open heart.
MONDAY, February 8

MANHATTAN
Thank you for serving and supporting the teams which participate in the outreaches serving the homeless, needy, and poor communities around the country.
The demand is increasing, and we acknowledge the need for prayer and covering for the teams individually and collectively, the guests that we serve, and the groups that we sometimes serve alongside with (from other organizations).
For this reason, we have created a dedicated call line for Prayer.
I personally invite you to join us on Wednesdays, on a conference call, to lay down whatever is on your heart, as we humble ourselves, and stand in the gap for these outreaches and communities. Bring also your prayer requests, and we will stand with you!
The dial-in information is as follows:
US and International Conference Dial-in Number: (218) 339-4300
Participant Access Code: 969610#
The call starts at 7pm EST. Come and experience the Miraculous Power of Prayer!
Why do You love me!? That is what I want to know.
Your love is so deep, upon me why did You choose to bestow?
Your love is like fuzzy socks and toasty toes in front of the fireplace.
Or marshmallows, warm and gooey, and melting all over the place.
It’s like cinnamon and nutmeg, the smell of the spices fills the air,
And the thought of You sweetens my life everywhere.
Please don’t take Your love from me, I could never bear,
It’s the gift I want this Christmas, and every day of the year.
I am nothing, I am nobody,
but Your love makes me feel the opposite.
At the same time it brings me to my knees,
And makes me fly higher than the trees.
With the holidays near, and lights all around, none shine as bright as You
Alone deserve the Crown
My King.
How did I ever get Your attention, how do I ever deserve Your love?
I don’t! But You knew me before I was born, You loved me from above.
Please don’t take your love from me, I could never bear,
It’s the gift I want this Christmas, and every day of the year.

Come on in where the table is spread, and the Feast of the LORD is going on!
Our 4th Annual GIVING THANKS on Thanksgiving outreach to the homeless will be held on Thanksgiving Day, November 26.
This is a very special day for me, not only because it is Thanksgiving, but also because it was my mother’s birthday.
This is an outreach to the homeless, and needy, and poor – our brothers and sisters throughout this City who have nothing and no one.
This is a family-friendly outreach. I absolutely encourage you to join us, and if you know young people, bring them as well! The minimum age to help is 14 years old.
THE BOWERY MISSION
Thanksgiving Day 2009
Thursday, November 26
1:00-3:00pm
Let us truly give thanks this Thanksgiving, by looking outside of ourselves and our own provision, and showing God’s love, being an extension of HIS provision, and being a blessing to others who are in need.
(If you are not in the Tri-State metro area, we would appreciate if you could please keep this outreach in your prayers. Thank you!)
We will be collecting Blessing Bags for this outreach, to be distributed to the men and women who will be served on Thanksgiving Day.
“Blessing Bags” contain personal hygiene items and other necessities. If you are scheduled to volunteer, please bring all donations with you to The Bowery Mission. If you are not volunteering, but still would like to donate, we are in need of the following items:
Toothpaste
Shampoo
Razors
Socks (white and black)
Hats
Toothbrush
Deodorant
Shaving cream
Underwear (all sizes)
Gloves
Thank you for your kind and generous heart for homeless and hurting people in NYC! Your help serving meals this Thanksgiving can be the first step in a changed life.

Building on the success of the initiative that began in Germany in 2005 and has since expanded to France and Japan, Volvic successfully launched the “Drink 1, Give 10” campaign in North America in 2008, donating $250,000 to the U.S. Fund for UNICEF.
This “water for water” campaign is now in its second year and re-launched in North America on April 1, 2009. For every liter of Volvic bottled water purchased in the U.S. and Canada between April 1 and August 31, 2009, Volvic will make a donation of four cents per liter to the U.S. Fund for UNICEF to enable UNICEF to provide at least ten liters of clean, safe drinking water to children in Ethiopia.
The funds raised through the campaign support UNICEF water projects in two districts of the Benishangul-Gumuz region of Ethiopia to help improve the health of community members by increasing access to sustainable water supply through the construction of water supply systems, with the goal of constructing 40 wells. Funding raised through the “Drink 1, Give 10″ campaign will not only enable UNICEF to dramatically increase the availability of clean water in western Ethiopia, but also to fund a fully integrated water and sanitation package, ensuring maximum benefit to the community. Thanks to Volvic North America’s donation over the course of the two-year campaign, 25,000 community members will receive water supply, sanitation and hygiene education services.
*For each liter of Volvic bottled water purchased in the U.S. and Canada between April 1 and August 31, 2009, Volvic will donate 4 cents to the U.S. Fund for UNICEF, with a minimum donation of $250,000, to support UNICEF programs that will provide at least 10 liters of clean water to children in Africa, including building wells. UNICEF does not endorse any brand or product. No portion of the purchase price is tax-deductible.
to join Volvic in supporting UNICEF’s clean water programs in Ethiopia.
