Interfaith Hospitality Network
IHN guests are families with children who, because
of a crisis in their lives, have lost their homes. The program
provides for them to live at Austin area churches while they find
housing and get back on their feet.
IHN schedule at SHPC is:
2008:
March 23-30, 2008
June 22-29, 2008
September 7-14, 2008
November 30-December 7, 2008
During these weeks,
four IHN families will live at our church and will be fed and sheltered
by volunteers here. This is your opportunity to share the joy and
blessings of Christmas with these families. Tasks performed by
hosts (church members and members of Faith Presbyterian Church and
Abiding Love Lutheran Church) include:
Move-in: Sunday, 12:30 -- move
guests' belongings and bedding into rooms and set up
Breakfast Servers: 5:45 a.m. to 7:15 a.m.
Dinner Preparers: 6:00 p.m. to 7:30 p.m.
Evening Host: 5:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m.
Overnight Host: 8:00 p.m. to 7:15 a.m.
Saturday Hosts and lunch: several shifts
Supply Donors: all week
Transportation Volunteers and Linen Washers
Move-out: Sunday 6:30 a.m., load guests' belongings on the
trailer, clean up and straighten the church, transport guests to the Day
Center, and take the trailer to the next church.
Young children make excellent hosts because the
guests are mostly young children. Sign up in the narthex for this
volunteer opportunity, or contact Kim Grubb at 288-0924 or email
her at 4grubbsATpeoplepc.com. |
