REDLANDS MIGRANT WORKERS
Volunteers are needed at the Child Development Centers for the migrant workers’ pre-school age children located in Fellsmere and in Wabasso. These Centers care for and prepare these young children for public school.

Volunteers are needed to read to them, to teach them English, and to help them work with crafts. There are four of these Centers located in Fellsmere and Wabasso. Two Centers are in need of more volunteers. One is in Fellsmere on Willow Street and one is in Wabasso known as the “Children’s House” located at 7801 85th Street.

COMMUNITY FOOD PANTRY --
On 16th Avenue Downtown
We as a congregation collect food and donations for the needy the first Sunday in each month and deliver them the next day to the Bank.

Donations, however, can be made throughout the month and placed in the baskets located at the front door. Food items would include packaged or canned items such as pasta, beans, rice, cereals, etc., and all kinds of canned vegetables plus jellies. In addition to the food items, bars of soap (large or small), toothpastes (brushes), and shampoos are also needed.

All of our donations are very gratefully received by the Bank as their supplies have dwindled during the summer months, and the need has increased due to these hard times because so many are unemployed.

ALTAR FLOWERS
Many times the Altar flowers from Sunday services are not picked up by donors and these flowers are then brought to assisted living homes or to the Hospice House or the Alzheimer's "The Place" to share their beauty with the residences. In August, the flowers were delivered to the Hospice House on 37th Ave. and to the Isles of Vero assisted living home on 60th Street each with a card saying "from the Altar of Living Lord Lutheran Church". These places look forward to receiving the flowers as do their residents.
We have a need, though, of containers to put them in since they are removed from our Altar vases. We need large plastic bottles or tin cans - 3 qt. size to transport the flowers. If you have any this size, please save them and bring them to church for the Sacristy. We gratefully appreciate it.

HABITAT FOR HUMANITY
Their project for this year was to start building 27 houses for needy families in our area living in condemnable houses. The first house to be built was to be sponsored by and constructed by volunteers from 10 churches in Vero Beach of which Living Lord played a very active part.
