These are our current needs

Food

We are always in need of things like Peanut Butter, Dried Pinto Beans, Macaroni and Cheese Dinners, Rice (especially Minute rice), Canned Vegetables (Especially green beans and peas), Canned Fruit and Breakfast Cereal.  There is a significant need at the moment as we have received very few donations this summer.

Hygiene Products

Recently, a nursing class from MSU kicked off the beginnings of a Hygiene Products pantry.  They saw a great need because there are no assistance programs that help obtain these items.  We have begun to collect shampoo, soap and body wash, toothbrushes and toothpaste, NON-ALCOHOL based mouthwash, feminine hygiene products, laundry needs, household cleaning supplies and dish soap.

Boxes

Tender Mercies uses boxes, when they are available, to package the groceries in that we are handing out.  We'll take any size and any amount of boxes you have to give.  If we can't use them, we recycle the cardboard.  Feel free to contact us if you have questions or would like us to pick-up the boxes.  Otherwise, just stop in and we'll help you unload.

Prayer Requests

Pray for the people that come in for boxes of food.  Ask God to work through us, the volunteers, to reach these recipients with the Gospel message.  Pray for the life circumstances of these people, that they may respond to the Gospel message and find that in Christ, there is hope.  Our recipients need some hope in their lives. 

Pray for the Board of Directors and the Executive Director.  They are beginning a long range planning and visioning process.  Ask that God provide them with His plan for the ministry. 

Pray that God will provide us with prayer warriors that will commit to praying for the recipients, the volunteers, and the ministry.

Are you interested in the Prayer Team (see the last prayer request)?  If so, Call Jimm at 425-2557 and he will give you all the details.

Finances

For several years, Tender Mercies has received a gift of $50,000 of matching funds.

We met our goal of collecting at least $50,000 in 2011!

Thank you all so much for making this possible.  It is our hope that we will continue to receive this gift and that our donors will continue to bless us with the funds we need to receive the full amount.
