Hoskins Park Ministries Needs & Updates

Your prayers and thoughts are the most important support that you can provide to this fast growing and most needed Ministry. We thank you for them during Tom’s sabbatical and always.

As you may know, HPM obtained 5 houses a few months ago that were occupied and we were awaiting their vacancy. Two of those houses are now vacant and we need six twin mattresses in order to populate these two houses. The six twin mattresses have to be NEW, we cannot accept used mattresses. Any donation, either monetary or NEW mattresses, would be greatly appreciated.

The Pantry is in need of very specific items that are used for new residents. When a new resident arrives at Hoskins Park, they are given new socks, boxer underwear, pillows, bath and hand towels. These items and the food and toiletries in the Pantry help sustain these new residents until they qualify for food stamps, and/or find a job.

HPM is now out of the socks, boxer underwear, pillows, bath towels, hand towels and other toiletries such as soap, deodorant and razors that are needed for this new population as well as the normal turnover that occurs each week.

Paige would also like six Life Groups to sign up for a monthly dedicated Pantry Committee. Similar to the Life Groups that are currently committed to providing dinners to the men of Hoskins Park on an monthly basis, Paige would like to develop that same commitment with the major stocking and organization of the Pantry that would be in addition to the regular everyday smaller donations.

Forest Hill has developed a web based sign up process for you and your Life Group to volunteer for these and other needs that are listed on the web site on an ongoing basis.
