VALLEY FALLS UMC OUTREACH
Food Pantry: Our church collects food and money for the Pittstown Area Food pantry. See Ed Osterhout for further information.
Volunteers in Mission (VIM): There are many opportunities to work on VIM projects. Currently, Jack Hill and Dick Palmer are organizing a VIM project in Valley Falls to work on the home of Julie Nesich and Colin Helie. On Feb. 4 there was a fire at this house which caused severe damage. The project will involve moving the debris to dumpsters, laundering, washing kitchen contents, and possibly demolition. Lunch will be served to workers at the church. Help will be needed to work at the house, to work at the church, and to provide food. To get information about helping at the house, call Jack Hill (753-4779) or Dick Palmer (753-6067). To get information about helping with the lunches, call Judy Palmer (753-6067).
