This week in service August 26, 2020

 August has come to an end for Sunflower Harbor Homeless outreach. It has been a banner month! Most of our contacts this week were followups. Our teams continue to go above and beyond to help the homeless folks we serve. 

We've  given out 203 blessings packs in August alone!

We have helped in the placement of 13 individuals in housing this month! 

We are out of most supplies. Waiting for shipments for some things and funding for others. Several of our shipments have been delayed. If you would like to ship us supplies for blessings packs, please do! 

Things we're running low on:

Tote bags

Zip lock bags

hand sanitizer

masks, 

travel toothbrush and toothpaste packs

floss

granola bars

water

Cheese crackers

Roll on deodorant

sanitary wipes

bath wipes

None of what we do could be done without all our amazing volunteers! We grow as our network of amazing volunteers and patrons grows and we are so thankful for each and every one of you!

Most of our in house projects have been put on hold due to covid and funding issues, but our outreach is helping so many! I am using this downtime to rework the in-house program to better fit everyone's needs. 

Current fundraisers are earmarked for lunches and our first tiny home. 

Don't forget www.antonrogers.com is running a fundraiser for us until the end of August! Advocate shirts, bags, and stickers now available!

This week in service August 12, 2020

 It's been quite a week! 

Our Abiline ladies have been tirelessly collecting items needed for our blessings packs and preparing the packs for us. As we go through our days, we give them out to those who need them. It gives us an opening to ask what else would help their journey so we can help further. 

We have doubled up on our outreach in the past couple months. We do what we can with our limited funding. We could not do anything without our amazing volunteers. 

Our Dallas and Balch Springs teams have been crazy busy helping a cause close to our heart. Veterans. 

Side note: Covid has shut down several American Legion posts which our veteran community depends on for so much! Write your Governor to get him to allow these necessary organizations to reopen! They are NOT just bars! They do so much in our communities!
