Cool Aid is our Outreach focus agency during the month of December.
www.coolaid.org
- When you give to Cool Aid, you ensure that dedicated frontline workers have the resources they need to help marginalized people in our community. Your donations support critical programs like outreach and dental care – programs that are essential to improving overall wellness.
- Your gift also helps provide life-skills programs like the community kitchen, employment training, and healthy recreation, ensuring people living on low incomes have opportunities for connection and community.
- Cool Aid's vision is a simple one... A community where no one is forced to sleep on the street or go hungry and everyone has the dignity that comes with home, health and connection.
We will also be collecting clothing until Dec 22nd. You will find a large labelled box in the Narthex for your donations of clothing, toiletries and more.

- Men’s clothing (shirts, pants, shorts, sweats)
