Help FHSS

10/11/2016

We invite you to join us in supporting Friends of the Homeless of the South Shore!

There are two projects currently going on at Pilgrim which support FHSS:

1) If you shop at Shaws Supermarket we ask you to collect the proportional stamps for the Faberware Cookware. Shop at participating Shaw’s locations between September 14, 2016 and January 3, 2017 to collect stamps.

Earn one stamp for every $10 you spend, spend $20 receive two stamps, $30 three stamps and on and on. Save the stamps and turn them into Linda Ames at church. She will gather them all up for FHSS so they can redemmer them for NEW Farberware Millennium Stainless Steel Cookware! http://www.shaws.com/earn-free-farberware/

The cookware will be given to a family who was previously experiencing homelessness and have just moved into their new home.

2) Join us on Thursday, October 20 for a Santa's Workshop to create Christmas decorations for the annual FHSS Holiday Party! Click here for more information.

Last week prior to our latest snow storm, the Friends of the Homeless South Shore contacted Pilgrim Congregational Church in search of a sled for a 5 year old boy. We sent out an email to our church community and with in 3 minutes multiple people offered up sleds! The Spirit moved and Sunday morning the boy was out feeling the wind in his hair as he flew down the hill at Beals Park.

Thank you Friends of the Homeless of the South Shore for all that you do and allowing us to have a small part in your work!

Once again Pilgrim Congregational Church worked held Santa's workshops once a month for the past six months to create decorations for the annual Friends of the Homeless of the South Shore Christmas Party. The event was a huge success! Not only did Pilgrim create the decorations but members of the congregation set-up, volunteered during the event and helped clean up. Over 200 hundred people were in attendance including Santa! What a joy to see all the hard work of our parishioners come together in the beautiful decorations and to see the joy on the children's faces taking their new Christmas items home. Big thank you to our creative leader Shirley Richardson!

What a blessing to be involved with a great organization which helps families right in our own neighborhood.
