OUTREACH

One Day to End Homelessness
The United Methodist Church in Central Ohio is helping to sponsor One Day to End Homelessness to come to the aid of neighbors experiencing homelessness. Because of our ministries of food, clothing, and household items into areas on the near West side, and specifically into homeless camps, we are compelled to ask you to prayerfully consider supporting One Day to End Homelessness. Some facts:

• 16% more families sought shelter this year than last-nearly 8,000 people.
• 62% of families entering emergency shelter have never used shelter before.
• 53% of women entering shelter are newly homeless.
• 1,700 children were homeless last year-2/3's were no more than 7 years old.
• 10% of those assisted by shelters are veterans.

You can put something in the envelope in the worship folder today, or donate online at www.onedaytoendhomelessness.org, 10TV News will host a live telethon to raise money for One Day to End Homelessness this Tuesday. One Day to End Homelessness challenges each of us to contribute the equivalent of just one day's rent or mortgage payment to the Community Shelter Board, to help people get back on their feed and into stable housing as quickly as possible. Suggested donation amounts, based on monthly housing costs:

•  $400/month= $13
• $600/month= $20
• $800/month= $27
• $1000/month= $33

United Methodist Church offers new "serve" feature

When we began redesigning UMC.org, the Web site of the people of The United Methodist Church, we found that members wanted the site to be a resource for connecting with the United Methodist community. Because one of the most effective ways we build community is through service, United Methodist Communications redeveloped the new "Serve" feature on UMC.org to connect volunteers with needs.
Whether they are interested in serving food at a soup kitchen, or being in a mission on another continent, United Methodists from around the world turn to UMC.org to find volunteer opportunities. United Methodist Communications encourages you to take advantage of this resource by posting volunteer opportunities available at your own church or at community nonprofits affiliated with The United Methodist Church.
The volunteer opportunities currently listed include:

• Restoring a historic church in Michigan
• Caring for AIDS orphans in Kenya
• Assisting with disaster response and recovery in Louisiana
• Visiting the elderly or homebound in California

just to name a few. Posting an entry is simple. Visit www.UMC.org and select the "Serve" button. From there, click on "Submit a Volunteer Opportunity" and complete the online form. If you have questions, contact volunteers@umc.org.
