Do you know what the following things are:
- Fork
- Coffee maker
- Pillow
- Frying pan
Then you are QUALIFIED! You will help pack Houseware orders for a curbside pickup appointment. Each month we pack at least 100 Housewares orders for individuals and families. They may have experienced:
- Fire
- Sudden Rehousing or eviction
- Bed bug infestation
- Theft
- Fleeing from Domestic Violence
- Other crisis
There are many reasons why someone would need sheets, pots/pans, utensils, bath items, and appliances. They may moved into new housing (or have a move-in date within the week) and do not have the necessary items to live and cook in the home. Maybe they have a stable home address but don't have the resources to purchase linens or essential kiitchen items to complete their home. Perhaps they are in a crisis stabilization program that houses them in a hotel for 3-7 days. There are also many individuals and families that live in extended stay hotels for months even years. Put yourself there and consider what would make YOUR life easier as you pray and hope to acquire your own home!
You may hope for washcloths and towels for your family of 6 so you don't have to share.
You may hope for a coffee maker because.... COFFEE!
You may hope for a sleeping bag because you are sleeping outside and the blanket you have isn't enough.
You may have dreamed of a matching dish set and canisters to make your home YOUR HOME!!
The team that serves in this department at Mercy Mall experience GREAT JOY as they organize donations of housewares, pack orders for hopeful people, and pray for the people who will unwrap these packed gifts! JOIN by applying TODAY!
