Meet at the furniture warehouse around 8:45 a.m. At this time, things should be wrapping up with the furniture give-away that occurs from 8:00 a.m. until 9:00 a.m. Then we jump in the CHO truck and make a loop that includes five or six houses that have been scheduled in advance. We are usually done by noon. If you want to come an hour earlier, you can help with the furniture give-away too. Although this is more than what is actually needed, I have always found it rewarding to meet the folks who are directly benefitting from our efforts.
In addition to the above, our fitness conscious senior youth will be saving money on gym memberships by participating in the Brethren Exercise Program (also known as the CHO Furniture Program) on third Sundays. Activities include organizing the furniture warehouse, unloading the CHO truck, picking up donations from donors, and delivering furniture to clients.
A map to the CHO Furniture warehouse can be found at http://cho-va.com/wordpress/services/furniture/.
Taco Tuesday will be returning for three consecutive Tuesdays beginning June 5, 6:30-8:30 PM. There will be chicken tacos – free, with any donations offered going to the youth fund.
People can show up any time, kids can do homework, Brian will bring some table games, people can just hang out.
It’s not a “program”, it’s just offering something people need anyhow – dinner and maybe having someone else help kids with homework
No need to RSVP-unless you’re happy to help. We’d love to know that in advance
Do feel free to invite people who might enjoy stopping by for some food!
If you know college kids or others who love a free meal, let them know!
Sunday, October 22, Carol Wise and Brian Flory, of the Supportive Congregation Network, and members of the Arlington, University Park and Westminster Churches of the Brethren were present to share stories about the discernment process that Brethren congregations have used to consider the nature of the welcome they extend to LGBTQ members.
