Mission Spotlight: Epiphany Blankets
Our congregation collected 78 blankets for the Epiphany Sunday drive (known as Warm Blankets for Cold Babies). Thanks to everyone who donated and to Mary Ann Buseck and Midge Harder for keeping this long standing tradition alive. The blankets were split between the Salvation Army’s Back Country Outreach and the Southern Indian Health Council’s social services program. More thank yous to Norm Howland, Malcolm and Caroline Graham, and Carol Olewine for helping to get the blankets ready for delivery and big thanks to Midge Harder and Susan James for making the actual deliveries.
Additionally, Lani Taylor's company, Countywide Mechanical Systems, donated an additional 120 blankets! Those were split between Gente Unida for migrants on the border, and half to be shared with low-income and unhoused neighbors in Lemon Grove.
