Each year the Confirmation Class chooses a service project that benefits a charity or group that they deem worthy of helping. This year’s Confirmation Class has selected to help a Non-Profit organization called Stitched Together.
Stitched Together is an organization that helps young people who have been placed in the Foster Care system. Many times, these children are forced to leave their homes with very little clothing, toiletries and belongings that are theirs. Additionally, these young people must carry their items in trash bags.
Stitched Together creates Hope Cases for three different age specific youth. They are for Preemie/Baby (newborn to 24 months, Kid (ages 2T to 12 years old) and Teen (ages 13-18 years old). There are different items that make up each of these age specific Hope Cases.
Once the Confirmands heard the story of youth close to their age that have had to enter Foster Care, they decided they wanted to help create Hope Cases that Stitched Together can provide for young people entering the Foster Care system. The Confirmation Class is graciously asking for the congregations to help in creating as many Hope Cases that they can for this worthy cause.
The Confirmation Class Service Project will begin on Sunday, May 10 with their kickoff announcement and will end Sunday, June 7. There will be a list of items that can be donated to this cause on the table in the Narthex. There will be a box in the Narthex that donations can be placed in. If you would rather provide a monetary donation, there will be a jar on the table in the Narthex. If wanting to pay via check, please make that out to Dublin Community Church United Church of Christ with Confirmation Service Project in the Memo line.
Once their collection period ends, the donated items will be used to create Hope Cases. Any monetary donations will be used to purchase any items needed or directly donated Stitched Together.
The Confirmation Class thanks you for any help you can give, and they appreciate the generosity of this congregation.
