Dear Friends, Sherry asked me to share this with you. This program is a result of your generous giving to help the homeless in our community. Thank you for your support and pray about ways you can continue to help. Remember the Church is not closed, We are the Church!
OPERATION ROOF
The recently formed Homeless Coalition of Cherokee County is taking steps to offer tangible hope to those who find themselves without a home later this year. Six churches, in conjunction with local mission partners are launching Operation Roof this fall providing short term housing and networking services for those in need of temporary housing. The aim is to help fill in the growing gap for many trying to bridge between jobs and housing needs. The need in our community is greater than can be met with our current ministry partners and social services available. Operation Roof seeks to serve as a expansion of these ministries and services.
HELP FILL THE GAP AND SHARE HOPE
You can help in one of three ways: Pray, Give, and Serve. Pray for all of those facing extenuating circumstances and our collective desire and ability to help. Continue to faithfully give through your local church. Each of the participating churches has made a faith pledge to support Operation Roof in addition to aid in the relief needed now as well as ongoing investment in developing a long-term and more holistic model aimed at recovery and restoration of those who are homeless within Cherokee County. In addition to committing to praying and giving, consider serving as a Guest Accountability Partner. Each family that we receive as a guest and commit to providing short term housing for, will need a partner who will help them work through a plan they help develop to move them into a more stable work and housing situation.
