Local:
Resource Center (Rich & Barbara Gilbertson, Coordinators):
Operated by Church Women United, located in Bunnell, a number of churches take one month each year and run the center; we also take the first Saturday of every month.
The Resource Center has been serving less-fortunate families within Flagler County for 26 years. Volunteers from member churches operate the Resource Center. It is open Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Saturday mornings from 10 a.m. to 12 noon every week. If you would like to be a volunteer, the sign-up sheets are in the fellowship hall. People wishing to receive items from the Resource Center must register at the Center and then may come every other month.
Family Life Center in Flagler County (Barbara Tumlin, Coordinator):
The Women of the Church together with the congregation of Hammock Community Church are proud to have included The Family Life Center as one of our outreach programs. We contribute to various special programs presented throughout the year for various holidays and to the monthly needs of the residents under the protection of the center.
The Women of the Church recently donated $100.00 by way of over the counter medicine, diapers, etc. to the Family Life Center.
The Family Life Center is a Domestic/Sexual Violence Center and Emergency Shelter. It is private not-for-profit social service organization providing no-cost services to families experiencing Domestic Violence and victims of Sexual Assault within the community and rural areas of Flagler County. For more information, please refer to: www.flcsafehouse.org/home.
Sheltering Tree (Janice Hoskins & Jan McKinney, Coordinators):
The Sheltering Tree operates out of the First United Methodist Church in Bunnell. It is open for housing the homeless at night during the cold weather when it drops below 40 degrees. Supper and breakfast are served to them, also. Both donations and volunteers are needed.
$400.00 was recently donated to the Sheltering Tree to help with their utilities. $100.00 was donated by The Women of the Church and the Church Board contributed $300.00.
Stuff the Bus (Janice Hoskins & Jan McKinney, Coordinators):
Stuff the Bus (S.T.U.F.F.) is a program supported by the Flagler County Education Foundation and is designed to help families with children who are in need of school supplies and clothing, etc. Any school supplies (i.e. paper, pencils, pens, notebooks, crayons, calculators), personal care items and childrens shoes and clothing are urgently needed.
International:
Operation Christmas Child (Linda Tulloh, Coordinator):
Operation Christmas Child is a project of Samaritans Purse, headed by Franklin Graham. Each year, they collect thousands of shoe boxes packed by churches and other interested groups and deliver them to children all over the world. These gifts bring everything from toothbrushes to toys, but especially The Word of God to thousands of children who are in need and know little about a loving Jesus.
Medical Mission to Dominican Republic (Janice Hoskins, Coordinator):
The Catholic Diocese of Orlando sponsors a Medical Mission trip to the Dominican Republic made up of volunteer doctors, nurses and support staff. This surgical group works with peoples from the mountain villages that have no medical facilities or continuing health care. Cases are reviewed and then scheduled for surgery before the Doctors arrive. They come down from the mountains anyway they can. Once in town, they are responsible for their own lodging and food as there is no housing provided. The hospital has no provisions for them. Our church collects sheets for the patients beds after surgery, the patient then takes the sheets home with them. White twin sheets are being collected to ship to the Dominican Republic in July or August.
Wycliffe (Pam Walker, Coordinator):
No generation prior to this one has been better acquainted with the idea of global community. Thanks to the Internet and cell phones, we can communicate instantly with our neighbors worldwide. We also have to respond to the reality of God's plan "from every tribe, language, people and nation" . Wycliffe believes that as God's plan stated....every person on earth deserves to have access to God's word. With His help, we can garner the gifts of His Church for a ministry world wide through the translation of the Bible into the "heart language" of every nation. Hammock Community Church donates time and dollars to the fruition of His Plan.
Dolly Parton's Imagination Library of Flagler County:
Imagination Library means books in the hands of every young child to read and keep for their very own. Children born on or after September 1, 2010, living in Flagler County are eligible and will receive a brand new, age appropriate book each month until their 5th birthday. There is absolutely no cost to the families. For more information about this wonderful project please see the following websites: www.FlaglerImaginationLibrary.org or www.imaginationlibrary.com/usa/firsttime.php.
The soup and salad luncheon fundraiser sponsored by The Women of the Church on March 26th was very successful. $600.00 was donated and an equal amount will be donated by Hammock Community Church to be given to the "Dolly Parton's Imagination Library" to benefit children of Flagler County.
