5. Refuge News: Hunger doesn’t take a summer vacation, in fact the need increases with the children being out of school and not receiving lunches. The stocks at The Refuge are at an all time low! The staples we provide are running low for corn, peas and newborn & pull-up diapers. Anything else would also be a great help, i.e. canned meats, canned potatoes, mixed vegetables, ramen noodles, soups, breakfast food and canned fruits.
6. Volunteers are needed for a Feed the Children food distribution offered by Caring and Sharing Community Center, Wednesday, August 18, 8 a.m. until 2 p.m. Three-hour shifts are available, 8 to 11 and 11 to 2.

7. Habitat for Humanity House Build Phase 2—The Brown County chapter for Habitat for Humanity has begun construction of a new home for a family with seven children. A crew from our church spent a day at the site on July 13, working on the foundation and beams to support the floor joints. Plans are underway for a second work day, Tuesday, August 17. We expect to be installing siding. If you are interested, call Dave Swalve, 888-7991 or dgswalve@comcast.net.

9. Attention Lock up volunteers: recently difficulties have risen in locking up the church properly. It’s important to remember if the doors seemed locked at first try, don’t attempt to jiggle or pull hard on the handles. For the immediate future, the front desk will lock the back doors at the end of business day and those groups meeting in the evening will need to use the front doors only. Thank you.
