The Social Concerns Committee is supporting Brookside Elementary School with needed supplies throughout this year. To start we are donating art and school supplies that have been stored downstairs. There will be a collection box in the Narthex if you would like to donate to this project. Brookside School remains in need of small sized personal use items such as Kleenex, toothpaste, mouth wash, tooth brushes, surface wipes, sanitizer.. Brookside School has asked for boy's and girl's underwear sizes appropriate for grade school age kids as well as socks.

Project Starburst - Hello members. Due to a curious set of circumstances, I was selected to join the board of Project Starburst. I know that Immanuel has had a long-term relationship with Manna Pantry, so I hope we can support both. both pantries provide a similar service with Starburst doing a bit more than just food including diapers and personal hygiene items. So just like there are certain items for Manna, here is a list of items for Starburst. I hope you will consider contributions for both.
April: Mac & Cheese
May: Spaghetti Sauce
June: Vegetables - any canned
July: Juice
August: Peas
September: Mushroom Soup
October: Sweet Potatoes
November: Gravy
December: Instant Mashed Potatoes
As I become more familiar with the organization, I'll update here and in the bulletin. Thank you for all you do to support those less fortunate. Dave Scott
